Speed is everything in the modern business world. Our attention spans are shorter than ever, consumers demand short and seamless interactions, and the slightest delay in service delivery can see organizations fall far behind their competitors. This is why real-time APIs are so important; they enable systems to communicate and exchange data with minimal delay, allowing for near-instantaneous updates and interactions to create a more dynamic and responsive user experience.

Just when CIOs and CISOs thought they were getting a grip on API security, AI came along and shook things up. In the past few years, a huge number of organizations have adopted AI, realizing innumerable productivity, operational, and efficiency benefits. However, they’re also having to deal with unprecedented API security challenges. Wallarm’s Annual 2025 API ThreatStats Report reveals a staggering 1,025% year-on-year increase in AI-related API vulnerabilities.

DeepSeek, a disruptive new AI model from China, has shaken the market, sparking both excitement and controversy. While it has gained attention for its capabilities, it also raises pressing security concerns. Allegations have surfaced about its training data, with claims that it may have leveraged models like OpenAI’s to cut development costs. Amid these discussions, one critical aspect remains underexplored—the security of AI agents and the vulnerabilities that allow for jailbreaks.

By now, you will almost certainly be aware of the transformative impact artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are having on the world. What you may not be aware of, however, is the role Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are playing in the AI revolution. The bottom line is that APIs are critical to AI systems – but they are also a major reason why AI systems are vulnerable to abuse. In this blog, we’ll explore why API security is critical for the safe and ethical deployment of AI.

Implementing API authentication is one of the most critical stages of API design and development. Properly implemented authentication protects data, user privacy, and other resources while streamlining compliance, preventing fraud, and establishing accountability. In fact, broken authentication is one of the leading causes of API-related breaches.

APIs are the backbone of modern digital ecosystems, but their misuse can expose systems to cyber threats. Effective API throttling not only optimizes performance but also acts as a critical defense mechanism against abuse, such as denial-of-service attacks. Discover how this powerful strategy enhances API security and safeguards your organization’s data in an interconnected world.

The modern world relies on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). They allow applications to communicate with each other, servers, and consumers to facilitate data sharing and simplify application development. Without them, the internet would be unrecognizable. However, APIs also present a considerable risk to organizations. If left unsecured, they can be a gateway for attackers to access critical data and services. Protecting APIs is extraordinarily important, but it can be expensive.

Recent advances in AI technologies have granted organizations and individuals alike unprecedented productivity, efficiency, and operational benefits. AI is, without question, the single most exciting emerging technology in the world. However, it also brings enormous risks. While the dystopian, AI-ruled worlds of sci-fi films are a long way off, AI is helping cyber threat actors launch attacks at a hitherto unknown scale and level of sophistication. But what are AI-powered attacks?

By Wallarm
APIs have become the backbone of modern digital ecosystems, powering everything from mobile apps to e-commerce platforms. However, as APIs grow in importance, they also become prime targets for malicious actors. Increasingly, bots are being weaponized to exploit vulnerabilities, overwhelm systems, and siphon sensitive data—all without triggering alarms until it’s too late.

Attack detection is critical for most security solutions, whether we are talking about a load balancer-based (NIDS, WAF), host-based or in-application solutions (HIDS, RASP). Interestingly, regardless of the differences in architecture and data flow, most solutions use similar detection principles and techniques. We will explore how the detection architecture evolved over time and how the new generation of detection logic, such as the architecture implemented by Wallarm, is principally different from that of the legacy solutions.
