On March 25, 2025, NIST released the initial public draft of NIST SP 800-228, "Guidelines for API Protection for Cloud-Native Systems." The document provides a comprehensive framework for securing APIs in cloud-enabled environments. However, for organizations looking to align with these objectives, the tooling requirements may seem initially overwhelming. Fortunately, Wallarm helps streamline the process by integrating many of these recommendations into a single, cloud-native solution.

Securing PCI and PII data is at the core of what we do at Protegrity. You can try out Protegrity’s capabilities today, through our API Playground. This section walks you through some sample scenarios of de-identifying PCI data, so that it is removed from your environment and only reversed once it leaves it. To run this example, you have to be signed up to the Protegrity API Playground.

Agentic AI is transforming business. Organizations are increasingly integrating AI agents into core business systems and processes, using them as intermediaries between users and these internal systems. As a result, these organizations are improving efficiency, automating routine tasks, and driving innovation. But these benefits come at a cost. AI agents rely on APIs to access data and functionality from underlying systems. Without APIs, AI agents are useless.

In the current economic environment, IT and security leaders face significant challenges. Budget optimization and prioritizing initiatives that provide real business value are crucial, particularly amidst a growingly complex and threatening threat landscape. This pressure is especially pronounced when it comes to securing the APIs essential for modern applications and linking vital data.

In an era where APIs form the backbone of every digital experience, security can no longer be an afterthought—or a bottleneck. The real challenge lies not just in detecting threats, but in doing so accurately, with clear explainability, and at enterprise scale. At AppSentinels, we built our platform from the ground up to tackle modern threats with unmatched efficacy.
