In complex cloud environments where the speed of development is accelerated, managing infrastructure and resource configurations can be an overwhelming task—particularly when certifications and compliance frameworks like PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 present a lengthy list of requirements. DevOps and engineering teams need to ship code updates at a rapid pace, making it easy for them to accidentally overlook misconfigurations.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has officially arrived at the enterprise and is poised to disrupt everything from customer-facing applications and services to back-end data and infrastructure to workforce engagement and empowerment. Cyberattackers also stand to benefit: 93% of security decision makers expect AI-enabled threats to affect their organization in 2023, with AI-powered malware cited as the No. 1 concern.

Businesses of all sizes are increasingly relying on APIs to connect with their customers, partners, and other systems. APIs, or application programming interfaces, are the building blocks of the modern web, and they allow businesses to share data and functionality in a secure and efficient way.

Shocking to no one: Artificial Intelligence (AI) was a huge topic at Black Hat USA 2023, but what did we learn about it? With no shortage of talks on it, there are many insights to take into account. We asked highly skilled Software Security Researchers who attended both Black Hat and DEFCON to weigh-in on the most insightful moments, particularly related to AI. Here’s what we found.

The Wallarm API Discovery module has been further enhanced to enable customers to identify Orphan APIs and bring them under management. In this post we’ll discuss what Orphan APIs are, why they matter, and how to regain control of your API portfolio.
