Seeing the Unseen: Salt Security and eBPF

APIs are crucial in our digital world, but they also introduce new vulnerabilities. Attackers often exploit these vulnerabilities by concealing malicious payloads within encrypted traffic, rendering them undetectable to traditional security tools. As we observe Cybersecurity Awareness Month, it's important to emphasize the significance of advanced solutions that can detect hidden threats.

API Gateways and API Protection: What's the Difference?

Modern businesses are increasingly reliant on APIs. They are the building blocks facilitating data exchange and communication between disparate systems. Because of their prevalence and importance, they are also under attack by actors exploiting vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Unauthorized access, data exposure, injection attacks, broken authentication, DoS attacks, shadow or unmanaged APIs, insecure API dependencies, and more present a real risk to APIs and the organizations that use them.

Mergers and acquisitions can expose critical API vulnerabilities, often overlooked due to poor documentation and lack of standardization. Learn about the hidden risks that can lead to delayed incident response and compromised security during M&A processes.

A Maturity Model to Secure Mulesoft Environments

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, where application programming interfaces (APIs) are becoming the backbone of technology infrastructure, the need for robust management and security measures have never been more critical. With the surge in API use and the corresponding increase in threats, protecting Mulesoft environments has become a top priority.

Deep Dive into the Latest API Security Vulnerabilities in Envoy

Envoy has carved out a critical role in cloud-native computing, becoming increasingly prevalent as the default ingress controller for Kubernetes. This high-performance proxy, developed by Lyft and now part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s arsenal, is integral for companies scaling up their Kubernetes deployments. Envoy ensures efficient load balancing, security, and operational agility by managing external access to services within Kubernetes clusters,.

Why Choose a Cloud-Native Approach to Fend Off API Attacks

As organizations adopt a “digital-first” mentality, APIs have essentially become the backbone of modern applications, providing seamless integration between services, platforms, and third-party systems. For businesses, APIs help streamline processes and for consumers, APIs enable smooth and easily accessible digital services. However, an increased reliance on and growing number of APIs has also made them prime targets for cyberattacks.

How to configure Joomla Custom REST API Plugin

The Joomla Custom API plugin lets you create custom APIs to expand the capabilities of the Joomla CMS (Content Management System). By using these APIs you can expose particular features or data from your Joomla website, allowing external programs or services to communicate with your Joomla website. With the help of the custom endpoints you have developed, this plugin offers a smooth method to work with the Joomla database, enabling you to easily carry out CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations.
