What a week we’re having – and it’s only Thursday! RSA has been action-packed, meeting with customers, showing off our new product enhancements, and booking time with new prospects. Interest in API security is running at an all-time high, as more organizations recognize what Salt saw years ago, that APIs entirely upend the security playing field!
This is the fourth blog in the series focused on PCI DSS, written by an AT&T Cybersecurity consultant. See the first blog relating to IAM and PCI DSS here. See the second blog on PCI DSS reporting details to ensure when contracting quarterly CDE tests here. The third blog on network and data flow diagrams for PCI DSS compliance is here.
With warm and sunny weather expected all week, a bunch of the Salt team is thrilled to be at RSA in San Francisco! We’ll get the chance to talk with security leaders about why API security has become a priority project, and we’ll get time to catch up with customers and each other. It’ll be a great week!
Today, we’re announcing the ability to build APIs with Tines. Now you can create powerful workflows by connecting more tools and processes together - all without any code at all.
The terms unified and integrated are often used interchangeably in the software world. However, security leaders must understand the differences between deeply unified and API-based integrated platforms within an organization and how they can significantly impact everything from cost to efficiency. First, it is essential to define the terms.
One of the guiding principles for organisations, whether they are major corporations or small firms, is to ensure compliance. Enforcing compliance helps organisations to adhere to fraud prevention guidelines, identify rule infractions, and shield a corporation from unwarranted penalties and legal action. PAN verification is one such crucial process before onboarding consumers, clients, and third parties in order to remain compliant and within the law.
We’re pleased to share that Salt has extended the capabilities of our powerful AI algorithms, further strengthening the threat detection and API discovery abilities of the Salt Security API Protection Platform. (Check out today’s announcement.) Here at Salt, we always look forward to the RSA Conference, but this year we are doubly excited to attend and showcase these new advanced capabilities! Salt invests significant resources into the continued innovation of our API security platform.
Security AI usage has surged, and enterprises are reaping the benefits. In its 2022 Cost of a Data Breach Report, IBM found that organizations deploying security AI and automation incurred $3.05 million less on average in breach costs – the biggest cost saver found in the study. According to the study, organizations using security AI and automation detected and contained breaches faster. However, while leveraging AI clearly makes a difference, organizations must implement the right architecture.
Security teams are using automation solutions more and more to achieve consistent and faster response times. Some of these responses require emails to be sent to various users or groups, and traditional methods of sending emails are outdated and not very secure. Security teams also need the ability to read emails from specific mailboxes, whether that is for automating responses to phishing submissions or something similar.
