APIs are now the beating heart of digital infrastructure. But as they have risen in importance, they’ve also become prime targets for attackers. Complex, often poorly understood API behaviors present rich opportunities for exploitation, and too often, security teams are left scrambling to protect critical infrastructure with outdated tools or cumbersome deployments. Wallarm’s Security Edge is the answer to this problem.

Ransomware is no longer confined to on-premise networks. A recent report from Microsoft reveals how Storm-0501, a notorious threat group, has pivoted its focus from traditional device encryption to cloud-based ransomware attacks. By exploiting native cloud features, these attackers bypass conventional malware defenses, exfiltrate sensitive data, destroy backups, and extort organizations—all without deploying traditional ransomware encryptors.

Cloud adoption has transformed how organizations store and secure critical data—but it has also created new opportunities for attackers. A recent campaign by Storm-0501, a financially motivated ransomware group, highlights how devastating a cloud ransomware attack can be when backups and recovery measures fail.

APIs have quietly become the new first point of failure. They run the workflows your customers see, as well as the ones they never do. Every transaction, every authentication, every AI-driven feature is stitched together through APIs. That same interconnection has made them one of the most consistently underprotected parts of modern infrastructure. The numbers show the shift.

Managed identities offer a paradigm shift from "what fo you have"to "who you are" authentication, providing automated, short-lived credentials that eliminate credential sprawl across multicloud environments.

We’re excited to share new updates and enhancements for August, including: For more information on these updates and others, please read the complete list below and follow the links for more detailed articles.

Security professionals everywhere face a paradox: while more data provides the visibility needed to catch threats, it also makes it harder for humans to process it all and find what's important. When there’s a sudden spike in suspicious traffic, every second counts. But for many security teams — especially lean ones — it’s hard to quickly figure out what’s going on. Finding a root cause means diving into dashboards, filtering logs, and cross-referencing threat feeds.

Organizations face continuous threats from phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and other advanced email attacks. Attackers adapt their tactics daily, forcing defenders to move just as quickly to keep inboxes safe. Cloudflare’s visibility across a large portion of the Internet gives us an unparalleled view of malicious campaigns. We process billions of email threat signals every day, feeding them into multiple AI and machine learning models.
