APIs are now the top attack vector, facing 68% more threats per host and 16 times more DDoS traffic than traditional web apps. These findings come from the State of Application Security 2024 report, based on analysis of over 2 billion API attacks blocked by AppTrana WAAP. As APIs become critical to digital transformation, understanding how to secure them—beyond just authentication—is no longer optional.

When Amazon Web Services (AWS) initially launched in 2006, it offered the first compute, storage, and database cloud service that developers could build on. Over time, AWS became a fundamental cloud service provider as organizations started migrating to the cloud. As one of the three primary cloud services providers, AWS remains integral to most businesses.

IDC, Gartner, and Cyber Research Analyst Francis Odum validate Torq HyperSOC-2o for establishing the important building blocks for achieving the autonomous SOC. The autonomous SOC is here. It is no longer a distant reality, it’s not a pipe dream, and it’s certainly not just another cybersecurity buzzword.

How Trustwave’s FedRAMP Authorization Removes the Burden of CMMC Federal Compliance from Clients Navigating the labyrinth that is the US federal procurement system, particularly for Defense Industrial Base (DIB) companies, can be difficult. Particularly when these organizations should meet specific cybersecurity compliance standards like Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).

In cybersecurity, piggybacking refers to an unauthorized person gaining access to a restricted area or system by exploiting the access privileges of an authorized user, typically by following them or leveraging their credentials, usually without their knowledge or consent.

Third parties have long been the hidden heroes of the payment card industry, providing specialized, streamlined support to merchants looking to host a website or spin up an app. But that convenience is not without a cost. According to PCI DSS 4.0 compliance standards, although merchants are free to use third parties, the responsibility for any incurred security liability will be all theirs. When a merchant takes on an outside provider, they are taking on their cybersecurity risk as well.

The healthcare industry is a prime target for cyberattacks due to the significant value of medical data and the critical nature of patient care. Unlike other sectors, healthcare organizations must balance cybersecurity with the need for immediate access to life-saving information. Ransomware attacks, in particular, have surged, with cybercriminals exploiting outdated systems, unpatched vulnerabilities, and human error to disrupt operations.

When an EDR tool generates too much endpoint telemetry, security teams quickly run into problems. Mountains of process events, network connections, and file operations can overwhelm analysts, making it harder to spot real threats in the noise. High data volumes drive up storage costs, slow down searches, and contribute to alert fatigue — leading to longer investigation times and potential blind spots.

Digital transformation has expanded IT environments beyond traditional boundaries. Data now exists on-premises, across multiple clouds, on endpoints, and within shadow IT. This expansion creates environments where security blind spots introduce significant risk and create dangerous security gaps. According to recent data, organizations take an average of 277 days to identify and contain breaches. Companies that contain breaches in under 200 days save an average of $1.12 million.
