Addressing the Rising Threat of API Leaks

In the realm of cybersecurity, the metaphor of "Leaky Buckets" has become an increasingly prevalent concern, particularly in the context of API security. This term encapsulates the hidden vulnerabilities and exposures in API infrastructures that many organizations struggle to identify and address. The digital era has amplified these challenges, with APIs becoming central to the operational fabric of numerous enterprises.

The Darkside of GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language for APIs that provides a powerful and efficient way to query and manipulate data. As powerful and versatile as GraphQL is, its downside is that it can be vulnerable to certain security threats. In this presentation, we will discuss the security vulnerabilities associated with GraphQL, from the basics to more advanced threats, and how to best protect against them. After this presentation, attendees will have a better understanding of security vulnerabilities in GraphQL, as well as an understanding of the steps needed to protect against them.

API Management: Using Runtime API Security to Enhance API Lifecycle Processes

As I look at the range of API Management approaches that are recommended by various analysts, pundits, and vendors, I find it interesting that most don’t really know how to address “security” in the context of API management. In high-level API lifecycle management diagrams securing APIs is rarely called out visually, although it may be addressed briefly in an accompanying paragraph.

CISO: Top 10 Trends for 2024

I recently hosted and moderated a distinguished panel of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) - Nitin Raina, CISO at ThoughtWorks, Mike Wilkes, former CISO at Marvel and Yogesh Badwe, CSO at Druva. We discussed major trends for 2024 across an array of topics including the evolving threat landscape, recent regulations, data privacy considerations, securing product and critical infrastructure.

What is Rate Limiting? - Definition, Methods, and Why It Is Important

Rate limiting is a mechanism used to control the amount of data or requests that can be transmitted between two systems within a specified time period. It helps prevent abuse, protect system resources, and ensure fair usage for all users. By implementing rate limiting, organizations can mitigate the risk of server overload, improve network performance, and enhance overall security.

What is API Abuse? | Noname Academy

Modern application programming interfaces (APIs) offer a great example of the law of unintended consequences. With their openness and ability to offer nearly universal connectivity between applications and data sources, they have transformed IT and the businesses that deploy them. However, that same openness also makes APIs ripe targets for abuse.
