Throughout the past few years, APIs have become the backbone of digital infrastructure. They enable software-to-software communication, improve integration and interoperability, support modular architecture, and more. But as API use has exploded, so has API traffic volume and complexity, making them increasingly difficult to secure. And the rise of AI agents and automation have complicated matters further. The result? APIs have become a favourite attack vector for cybercriminals.

When we started Wallarm, we focused on the APIs that power modern apps. We built an API-first platform, used AI from day one, and secured early patents in behavior-based detection and automated policy creation. The result: real-time, inline blocking with automatic API discovery that protects production, not just dashboards. Today’s investment isn’t only fuel for innovation—it’s proof of enterprise recognition.

We’ve all seen it: a cutting-edge, multimodal LLM, capable of understanding complex documents, stumbles on a seemingly simple task. In our case, the model confidently reported a contract’s signing date as "March 30". The only problem? The document clearly stated "March 9th". It wasn't just a minor error; it was a baffling one that sent us down a rabbit hole of debugging.

Burnout-related disengagement can cost organizations up to $21,000 per employee annually, or $5 million for a 1,000-person company. High workloads, digital fatigue, and constant multitasking are typical in modern workplaces. Many organizations struggle to recognize these signs early enough to act. Every day saved through proactive intervention helps recoup a portion of the $ 4,000–$ 21,000 per employee burnout risk.

The digital landscape is expanding at an unprecedented rate, driven by the mass migration to the cloud, the proliferation of IoT devices, and the rapid growth of AI. While this growth presents limitless opportunities, it also creates a daunting new reality for cybersecurity teams. As a company's digital footprint and attack surface expand, it becomes increasingly vulnerable to the growing number of threats, particularly those originating from the open, deep, and dark web.

You got compliant—congrats! That’s a big milestone. It tells customers, investors, and the world that you take security seriously. But compliance doesn’t stop at your first audit. As your company grows, so do the requirements. You’ll have to manage new frameworks, more policies, faster timelines, more scrutiny, and more complexity. ‍ Modern GRC teams need to do more with less.
