Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have become the backbone of modern applications. They enable seamless interaction between different software systems, allowing businesses to innovate rapidly. With the proliferation of APIs comes an increased risk of security vulnerabilities. Ensuring API security is crucial to safeguarding sensitive data, maintaining user trust and protecting the integrity of applications.

Phishing attacks occur when cybercriminals trick their victims into sharing personal information, such as passwords or credit card numbers, by pretending to be someone they’re not. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made it easier for cybercriminals to carry out phishing attacks by writing believable phishing messages, mimicking people’s voices, researching targets and creating deepfakes.

So far in 2024, many major companies have fallen victim to credential stuffing attacks. Some of these notable credential stuffing victims include Roku, Okta, General Motors and Levi’s. Credential stuffing attacks occur when a cybercriminal uses stolen login credentials to attempt to log in to multiple accounts simultaneously. Since many people reuse their passwords, cybercriminals can use stolen credentials to sign in to many accounts, compromising employee, customer and organizational data.

Developers are constantly exploring new technologies that can improve the performance, flexibility, and usability of applications. GraphQL is one such technology that has gained significant attention for its ability to fetch data efficiently. Unlike the traditional REST API, which requires multiple round trips to the server to gather various pieces of data, GraphQL allows developers to retrieve all the needed data in a single request.

Discover how UEM strengthens device management efforts and how endpoint management is evolving to meet modern endpoint security needs.

This guide for IT and security professionals shows how to detect that the CrowdStrike agent is installed and properly configured, using either vanilla osquery or 1Password Extended Access Management.

In emergency situations, 1Password Extended Access Management can get devices patched faster than MDM alone.
