As we have in previous editions of the ThreatStats report, we highlight the industry’s top API-related attacks and trends. New to this version, however, is a detailed analysis of API attacks targeting AI-based applications, representing a new and rapidly expanding threat vector. And while we encourage you to download the full report, here are some key observations about what you’ll find within. API threats to AI applications are clearly on the rise.

In the domain of digital forensics, volatile data assumes a paramount role, characterized by its ephemeral nature. Analogous to fleeting whispers in a bustling city, volatile data in Linux systems resides transiently within the Random Access Memory (RAM), encapsulating critical system configurations, active network connections, running processes, and traces of user activities. Once a Linux machine powers down, this ephemeral reservoir of information dissipates swiftly, rendering it irretrievable.

The digital supply chain refers to the chain of third-party digital tools, services and infrastructure that is depended on for a particular first-party service (such as your website or SaaS platform). In an ever-changing digital landscape, supply chains can be brittle with many unseen risks. The nature of supply chain risk is transitive; any part of the often long and complicated digital supply chain can be compromised, causing all components downstream of it to also be compromised.

When it comes to securing applications in the cloud, adaptation is not just a strategy but a necessity. We’re currently experiencing a monumental shift driven by the mass adoption of AI, fundamentally changing the way companies operate. From optimizing efficiency through automation to transforming the customer experience with speed and personalization, AI has empowered developers with exciting new capabilities.

While AI has created exciting new opportunities for business, it has created urgent questions around ethics, responsible use, development, and management. AI also introduces a new, and often nebulous, element of organizational risk. With the introduction of two frameworks, ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF, companies can now implement, demonstrate, track, and build their responsibility and trust around AI. TrustCloud is very pleased to announce that we support both ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF.
