Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are rapidly becoming the primary attack vector for cloud native applications. In fact, according to one study, 92% of organizations have already experienced a security incident resulting from insecure APIs. This is because loosely coupled microservices predominantly intercommunicate via APIs. In this video, we will analyze a ‘ripped from the headlines’ case-study example of data leakage via insecure APIs. Then we will examine various API vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers to enable data leaks, including Broken User Authentication (BUA), Broken Object Level Authentication (BOLA), and Broken Function-Level Authentication (BFLA).

Businesses struggle to find and protect sensitive data scattered across various sources. Manual tagging for classification is error-prone and inconsistent. Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) automates discovery, classification, and remediation – finding sensitive data, applying consistent tags, and fixing past mistakes. This ensures efficient and accurate data security, especially with ever-growing data volumes.

Cloud storage is convenient but misconfigured access can expose data. Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) finds publicly accessible files and folders, fixing them to prevent leaks. It also tackles hidden risks in folder sharing by detecting sensitive information and preventing accidental oversharing. By automatically fixing these issues, DSPM keeps your cloud data secure while enabling collaboration.

Data breaches threaten valuable info like PII and financial records. Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) with AI helps you find sensitive data and secure it. Encryption scrambles data using keys you can customize. DSPM automates encryption and enforces data protection policies to keep your information safe.

We’re entering an age where technology is quickly surpassing us, with advancements and capabilities outshining any other time in history. As businesses look to evolve with emerging technologies, so do regulatory requirements designed to protect PII used in creating these systems and programs. If the stakes weren’t high enough, the 2024 Australian Data Privacy Act is shifting full data responsibility back onto businesses, holding big enterprises to a more significant standard in their data ownership.
