7 Reasons to Get Certified in API Security

API security is becoming more important by the day and skilled practitioners are in high demand. Now’s the time to level up your API security skillset. Wallarm University, our free training course, provides security analysts, engineers, and practitioners with hands-on skills you can’t get from documentation, videos, or traditional courses. Run real attacks, investigate real signals, and learn exactly how to defend API environments when it counts. Here are the 7 reasons you should register.

Bots vs. Barcodes: The Resource Quota Failure. #ticketmaster #bla #ratelimiting #businesslogic

The infamous Ticketmaster case highlights BLA 1: Resource Quota Violation. Attackers used bots for mass purchasing and employed ingenious evasion: they reverse-engineered the barcoding logic to rotate and authenticate tokens, bypassing security controls. The core failure? Flawed rate limiting and business logic expiration. You must protect your inventory and your purchasing flows as if they were financial assets.

CISO Spotlight: Lefteris Tzelepis on Leadership, Strategy, and the Modern Security Mandate

Lefteris Tzelepis, CISO at Steelmet /Viohalco Companies, was shaped by cybersecurity. From his early exposure to real-world attacks at the Greek Ministry of Defense to building and leading security programs inside complex enterprises, his career mirrors the evolution of the CISO role itself. Now a group CISO overseeing security across multiple organizations, Lefteris brings a practitioner’s mindset to leadership and incident response.

The Easiest Way to Get Hacked: Open Introspection. #graphql #businesslogic #apisecurity #rbi

The RBI incident (Burger King, Tim Hortons) proves that BLA often results from a cascade of simple flaws, not one complex attack. The key mistake: GraphQL Introspection was enabled. This gave the attacker the full API blueprint - the map needed to find the open registration validation flaw and execute a massive data leak. Action Item: If you have GraphQL, check your production settings now. Disable Introspection. Don't hand the attacker the map to your castle!

If You Can't Block It, You Don't Secure It. #mitigation #cyberdefense #apisecurity #blocking

Detection is information; Blocking is mitigation. For Business Logic Abuse, simple detection alerts are not enough. Your tools must be able to actively block those manipulative, stateful attacks in real-time. Furthermore: Stop "one-and-done" security testing! You must continuously tune your testing by adopting an adversary's perspective. Tune your defense as constantly as attackers tune their exploits.

CISO Guide: 3 Steps to Stop Business Logic Abuse in Design #ciso #businesslogic #apisecurity

Fixing Business Logic Abuse starts at the whiteboard, long before code is written. Here is the three-step defense: Map Critical Workflows: Visualize data flows and state transitions for all high-value features. Implement Adversary Emulation: Integrate the hacker's mindset into your process to find flaws early. Test Constantly: Refine and re-test the logic at every phase of the CI/CD pipeline.

2026 API and AI Security Predictions: What Experts Expect in the Year Ahead

This is a predictions blog. We know, we know; everyone does them, and they can get a bit same-y. Chances are, you’re already bored with reading them. So, we’ve decided to do things a little bit differently this year. Instead of bombarding you with just our own predictions, we’ve decided to cast the net far and wide. We’ve spoken to cybersecurity experts from around the world to answer what’s, for us, the most pressing question of all.

CISO Workshop on API Threat Modeling: How to Use STRIDE to Predict, Prevent, and Protect

Threat modeling is a critical function for effective cybersecurity and threat models must adapt to emerging threats. As API deployments grow across organizations, cybersecurity teams need to extend their threat modeling to include the API attack surface. In this webinar, we'll examine threat modeling best practices for APIs, focusing on the STRIDE methodology. Attendees will learn.

The Business Logic Paradox: Hackers Are Your Best Architects #businesslogic #cybersecurity #api

Here is the truth: To exploit Business Logic Abuse, hackers must understand your application flow holistically. Your individual developers focus on clean code within their one block. The attacker studies the entire blueprint and finds the gaps and missing connections between those blocks. They are committed-spending months on reconnaissance to know your product better than your own team. You must adopt the attacker's mindset in your design stages!
