APIs, formally known as application programming interfaces, occupy a significant position in modern software development. They revolutionized how web applications work by facilitating applications, containers, and microservices to exchange data and information smoothly. Developers can link APIs with multiple software or other internal systems that help businesses to interact with their clients and make informed decisions.

Fast, low-latency, high-capacity networks are needed in today's environment. However, these advanced networks face a significant challenge: combining speed, reliability, and flexibility with security. Until recently, much debate has been about which technology was better for protection purposes. There seemed to be a constant battle between users who saw more advantages in Wi-Fi 6 and users who preferred 5G networks.

In cybersecurity, knowledge is everything. From APT intelligence to zero-day vulnerabilities, relevant and timely information can be the difference between a thwarted attack and a total disaster. With Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks at their zenith, there has never been a better time for a comprehensive BEC report. As such, Fortra has released its 2023 BEC Trends, Targets, and Changes in Techniques Report.

The UK Government is "committed to helpingreduce vulnerability to attacks and ensure that the UK is the safest place todo business" . One strand of the strategy was an executivebriefing on cyber security to UK businesses – which included a top 10 focusareas for businesses to concentrate on. Within that briefing document, Ian Lovain(The Diretor of GCHQ) put it most frankly, "Value,Revenue and Credibility are at stake. Don't let cyber security become theagenda – put it on the agenda" .

Threat actors are constantly looking for new ways or paths to achieve their goals, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of these novelties that could drastically change the underground ecosystem. The cybercrime community will see this new technology either as a business model (developers and sellers) or as products to perpetrate their attacks (buyers).
