The TRUTH About Shift Left: Test Before Deploy
Pen-testing once a year? Not enough. Shift left means automated API security testing inside your CI/CD pipeline — every commit, every release. In this video, we show why scaling security without automation is impossible.
Manual Testing NIGHTMARE: Why It's Doomed to Fail #apisecurity #cybersecurity #devsecops
Relying on manual API testing? Big mistake. Manual tools take forever to set up, forever to maintain — and they still break. In this clip, we explain why automation is the only way forward for API security.
This API Security Mistake Could RUIN Your Business #apitesting #hacking_or_secutiy #apisecurity
Testing your APIs after deployment is one of the biggest mistakes teams make. By the time vulnerabilities are discovered in production, the risk is higher, fixes take longer, and attackers may already exploit them. In this short clip from our API Security webinar, we explain why “shift-left” testing — securing APIs before deployment — is critical to prevent breaches.
Would You Like Data Leaks With That?
It’s been a rough few weeks for burger chains. First, McDonald’s McHire chatbot was caught serving up candidate data through insecure APIs. Then Restaurant Brands International (RBI), home of Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes, had its APIs flame-broiled by attackers who discovered they could generate tokens without authentication, escalate privileges, and even eavesdrop on live drive-thru audio. When APIs become the secret sauce, leaving them unprotected is a recipe for disaster.
Securing Third-Party EHR Integrations: Best Practices
Electronic Health Records (EHR) have become the backbone of modern healthcare, enabling providers to deliver coordinated, data-driven, and efficient care. Yet, as practices increasingly rely on third-party integrations-whether for billing, analytics, telehealth, or patient engagement-security becomes a pressing concern. A poorly secured integration can expose sensitive patient information, create compliance risks, or even compromise entire networks.
From Prompt Injection to a Poisoned Mind: The New Era of AI Threats
In our last post, we introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the "brain" or "mission briefing" that guides an AI agent's actions. Most security teams are just getting familiar with prompt injection, the equivalent of tricking an AI with a single, misleading command. But that's like stopping a pickpocket at the door when a master spy is already inside, rewriting the mission plans. As AI agents become autonomous, the attacks become more profound.
Data Rejection and API Best Practice #cybersecurity
Mend.io, formerly known as Whitesource, has over a decade of experience helping global organizations build world-class AppSec programs that reduce risk and accelerate development -– using tools built into the technologies that software and security teams already love. Our automated technology protects organizations from supply chain and malicious package attacks, vulnerabilities in open source and custom code, and open-source license risks.
Astra API Security Platform Slams the Backdoor on API Cyberattacks
A new API security solution delivers real-time visibility and automated pentesting to secure zombie and undocumented APIs before attackers can exploit them.
The Full Lifecycle Imperative: Why "Shift Left" Must Meet "Shift Right"
In this series, we examined the vital connection between AI and APIs, highlighting what makes a leader in the API security market through the 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass. Now, we turn to the core strategy of true API security: the full-lifecycle approach, where security is a continuous, integrated process rather than a single action.
