Creating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is crucial to software supply chain security management. It helps fortify your software supply chain and reduces the likeliness of your software being exploited. But did you know there's a way to enhance your software's security further? Well, that's when API inventory comes into the picture. Including API inventory in your SBOM can make your software solution more resilient to cyberattacks.

Often security engineers find it difficult to scale secure code review processes either due to lack of funding, adoption to smaller sprint cycles or even security engineers failing to integrate security to agile philosophy. This post talks about various ways to address such challenges.

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.

Detecting suspicious API traffic is of utmost importance in today’s digital landscape. With the increasing reliance on APIs, or application programming interfaces, for data exchange between different applications and systems, it has become crucial to ensure the security and integrity of these interactions. One of the main reasons why detecting suspicious API traffic is so significant is the potential threat it poses to the overall system and its data.

The integration of machine learning into software development is revolutionizing the field, automating tasks and generating complex code snippets at an unprecedented scale. However, this powerful paradigm shift also presents significant challenges including the risk of introducing security flaws into the codebase. This issue is explored in depth in the paper Do Users Write More Insecure Code with AI Assistants? by Neil Perry, Megha Srivastava, Deepak Kumar, and Dan Boneh.
