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.

What Can be Learned from the JumpCloud Security Incident

Jul 27, 2023 By Nick Rago In Salt Security
In an ideal world, security incidents result in minimal damage, and we can learn from them to improve our future defenses. Fortunately, such appears to be the case with JumpCloud. According to JumpCloud’s blog post, its recent security incident impacted fewer than 5 JumpCloud customers and fewer than 10 devices. Moreover, working together with their incident response (IR) partner Crowdstrike (also a Salt Security partner), JumpCloud has mitigated the attack vector used by the threat actor.

From Resurface to Graylog API Security: The Next Chapter

Jul 18, 2023 By Robert Dickinson In Graylog
When I started Resurface, my core thesis was that web and API security brought unique requirements requiring purpose-built data systems. Using Splunk at scale for API monitoring was/is prohibitively expensive. Using Hadoop or Kafka requires a nerd army to run at any scale. Few data platforms include a mature web or API monitoring model, so this has to be custom-overlaid at significant expense.
