As organizations increasingly rely on connected devices to drive efficiency and innovation, the Extended Internet of Things (XIoT) — covering industrial control systems (ICS), operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) — has rapidly expanded. This greater connectivity often drives increased vulnerability as critical assets are exposed to sophisticated threats.

If your organization handles United States federal government data in cloud environments, it’s often a requirement to use FedRAMP-authorized solutions. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) provides consistent standards for protecting unclassified data that passes between the federal government and privately owned third parties.

Mike Wilkes has had a career many cybersecurity professionals could only dream of. An adjunct professor, former CISO of Marvel and MLS, member of the World Economic Forum, drummer, and board member at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, his interests and achievements are as eclectic as they are impressive.

Software development is in the midst of a monumental shift, powered by the rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence. AI isn't just changing how we build software; it's transforming the very nature of applications themselves. As AI-native applications become more prevalent, we're also seeing new, complex security threats emerge. Traditional security approaches aren’t designed for the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of Large Language Models (LLMs), agents, and other AI-driven systems.

In an era where APIs are the connective tissue of enterprise ecosystems, authentication and authorization can no longer be treated as mere checklist items. They must become strategic disciplines—crafted thoughtfully to align security with business velocity, regulatory expectations, and evolving threat landscapes.

APIs serve as the foundation for modern digital innovation, supporting everything from mobile applications to intricate business integrations. However, as their numbers soar, with many companies experiencing annual growth rates of 50-100%, they have also become a significant target for cyber attackers. Relying on "good enough" API security could leave your most vital assets perilously unprotected.
