APIs are a blessing and a curse. They’re the backbone of the modern internet. They also expose complex behaviors that are often poorly documented, stitched together across legacy and cloud systems, and updated faster than security teams can review.  Three key groups typically shoulder the burden of protecting them:  When ...

APIs are now the beating heart of digital infrastructure. But as they have risen in importance, they’ve also become prime targets for attackers. Complex, often poorly understood API behaviors present rich opportunities for exploitation, and too often, security teams are left scrambling to protect critical infrastructure with outdated tools or ...

Throughout the past few years, APIs have become the backbone of digital infrastructure. They enable software-to-software communication, improve integration and interoperability, support modular architecture, and more.  But as API use has exploded, so has API traffic volume and complexity, making them increasingly difficult to secure. And the rise of AI ... Read More

API security has never been more crucial. Vulnerabilities are growing in volume and severity. AI integrations are a burgeoning attack vector. Increasing GraphQL adoption presents hidden dangers. To protect your organization, you must secure your APIs.  Keep reading for our key takeaways from the Wallarm Q2 2025 API ThreatStats report ... Read More

Unrestricted Resource Consumption (API4:2023) is the only threat category in the OWASP API Security Top 10 explicitly dedicated to Denial of Service (DoS) and resource abuse. But despite being just one category, attackers can exploit it in many different ways; from large file uploads and expensive GraphQL queries to abuse ... Read More

IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report offers one of the clearest and most comprehensive views yet of how AI adoption is shaping the security landscape.  While breach numbers are relatively low – only 13% of organizations reported breaches involving AI models or applications – the report reveals a ...

I recently sat down with Tejpal Garwhal, Application Security and DevSecOps Leader, for a conversation debunking some of the most common API security myths. From zombie endpoints to the limits of WAFS and gateways, we covered what’s really happening on the ground; and what security teams need to do differently ... Read More

Andrew Storms, VP of Security at Replicated, has spent three decades on the frontlines of cybersecurity. From building Unix systems in the early ‘90s to leading incident response and AI security strategies today, he has seen the CISO role evolve from back-office function to boardroom mainstay. In this spotlight, he ... Read More

Every inline deployment introduces a tradeoff: enhanced inspection versus increased risk of downtime. Inline protection is important, especially for APIs, which are now the most targeted attack surface, but so is consistent uptime and performance. This is where a fail-open architecture comes in.  This Wallarm How-To blog outlines how to ... Read More

Legislative, regulatory, and advisory bodies the world over are waking up to the importance of API security. Most recently, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has published detailed guidance on best practices for building and maintaining secure APIs. In this blog, we’ll break down that guidance and explore how ... Read More
