The Hidden Security Risks Living Inside Your APIs

Mar 12, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Most organisations spend serious money on firewalls, endpoint protection, and threat monitoring. Yet one of the most commonly exploited attack surfaces gets far less attention: the APIs quietly running underneath almost every modern application. APIs are the connective tissue of today's digital infrastructure. They allow apps to talk to each other, enable third-party integrations, and power the real-time data exchanges that businesses depend on daily. They are also a favourite target for attackers who know that many organisations have not secured them properly.

Mar 11, 2026 By Revashni Moodley In UpGuard
There’s no way to stop the clock in cybersecurity for InfoSec teams, but you can find ways to manufacture a better way to spend their time.

Now Available: Cyberhaven's Free AI App Risk Checker

Mar 10, 2026 By Cyberhaven In Cyberhaven
Most security teams are being asked to "enable AI" before they have any real sense of which tools are safe to use. That gap is costing them. Cyberhaven's research found that the majority of AI tools in active enterprise use today fall into high or critical risk categories, and more than 80% of enterprise data flowing into AI is going to those risky tools, not to platforms built with serious security in mind. To help security teams cut through the noise, we built the Cyberhaven AI App Risk Checker.
