Time is of the Essence: Shrinking MTTR in API Security

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, every second counts. When an API attack occurs, the speed at which your security team can detect, understand, and respond to the threat can mean the difference between a minor incident and a major data breach. This is where Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) comes into play. MTTR is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the average time it takes to resolve a security incident, from the moment it's detected to the point where it's fully mitigated.

API Security Testing on Free Swagger collection

API security is a critical aspect of modern web applications, ensuring that your APIs are robust and secure from potential threats. In our latest video, we dive into API security testing using a free Swagger collection. Swagger, an open-source framework, allows developers to design, build, document, and test their APIs with ease. By leveraging Swagger collections, you can perform comprehensive security testing to identify vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, data exposure, and improper authentication. This proactive approach helps in mitigating risks and protecting your API endpoints from malicious attacks.

The State of Phishing-Resistant MFA

In our increasingly interconnected world, the specter of cybercrime looms larger than ever, casting a shadow over people, businesses, and governments alike. Among the slew of cyber threats bombarding entities daily, phishing attacks are a particularly pernicious menace.

That's why the recent update to the ISO 27001 compliance standard is so pivotal — it introduces new controls around data security, DevOps, and network security to help future-proof our cybersecurity strategies.

Observability Meets Security: Tracing that Connection

As outlined in a previous post, OpenTelemetry and Splunk Observability Cloud can provide great visibility when security teams investigate activity in modern environments. In this post, we look at another aspect of this visibility: how you can use traces to see directly into the workings of an application to find a potential threat. Let’s imagine we’re the security analyst, and a message comes across from the Security Operations Center (SOC).
