In January 2024, a misconfigured API exposed 650,000 private messages. These included passwords and internal communications. No exploit chain. No zero-day. Just a public-facing endpoint with no authentication. This wasn’t an isolated incident. From T-Mobile and Twitter (now X) to Kronos Research and the US Treasury, attackers have consistently used APIs as entry points. They […]

The Ultimate API Security Checklist for 2025 APIs are now the top attack vector in enterprise apps. In 2024 alone, breaches tied to APIs cost an average of $4.88 million, and that number is rising fast. Attackers exploit gaps in API authentication, input validation, and outdated endpoints to compromise systems. Legacy controls no longer suffice, and the OWASP API Top 10 outlines […]

10 API Security Best Practices for 2025 APIs are the backbone of today’s interconnected software. They power everything from mobile apps and SaaS platforms to internal microservices and partner integrations. But their rapid growth has left many security teams flat-footed. In 2025, many attackers prefer to exploit API misconfigurations hiding in plain sight. What used to be fringe cases (token leakage, zombie […]

API Security in 2025: Practical Assessment & Modern Protection Strategies APIs are no longer an edge case. In 2025, they’re a core requirement for maintaining trust, compliance, and operational continuity. As organizations build more API-driven systems—from customer apps to internal microservices—the exposure risk compounds. And quickly, too. Even mature security teams are finding that traditional tools can’t keep pace with the volume, velocity, and nuance […]

SAST vs DAST vs IAST: Application Security Testing Explained A great majority of security flaws are introduced during development, but most aren’t found until much later, when they’re costlier to fix. That delay is precisely why application security testing (AKA AppSec testing) needs to occur early, frequently, and at multiple layers. SAST, DAST, and IAST are designed to do just that. But too often, […]

Application Security Frameworks: A Practical Guide to OWASP SAMM, ASVS, and More As teams ship faster in cloud-native environments, the attack surface grows just as quickly. This makes application security a moving target. Yet most AppSec programs still feel like patchwork. Teams rely on ad hoc policies, chase compliance, or struggle to scale controls across the SDLC. Application security frameworks change that. They give you a structure […]

Application Security Posture Management (ASPM): A Complete Guide Too many tools and alerts can overwhelm your team with excessive noise. A survey of 500 CISOs found they manage 49 AppSec tools on average, with 95 percent deploying 20 or more just to cover basics. In Q4 2024, 178 organizations logged 101 million findings in 90 days, and only 2-5 percent needed urgent action. […]

Application Security Best Practices: A Lifecycle Approach for Modern Teams Application security isn’t just a developer’s concern or a security team’s checklist anymore. It’s a full-spectrum challenge that cuts across the software lifecycle, from the code you write to the containers you deploy to the pipelines and people in between. In 2024 alone, researchers flagged over 40,000 software vulnerabilities, most of which were inherited through […]

How to Defeat Bad Bots in 2024 (and Why It’s Still So Hard) Introduction Bots today outnumber human users in eCommerce sites: From 15% in 2017, to 30% in 2019, to 64% in 2021. Some extreme cases we’ve witnessed peaked in 90-99.8% bot traffic. But perhaps the more concerning bit is the traffic share of bad bots: an approximate 39% of all internet traffic in 2021. Hackers are […]
