API abuse and web application bot attacks are often confused. This is understandable, as both involve automated interactions and are usually executed by bots. Both attack vectors are prevalent; criminals are always eager to disrupt the foundations on which businesses base their operations to achieve their malicious goals and they frequently automate their actions for maximum results.

When the tools in your security stack work together, it reduces administration overhead, lowers costs, and increases protection across your organization. That’s why we’ve spent the last year deepening our partnership and product integrations with AWS and other security providers in their ecosystem.

For most enterprises, the question isn’t whether to use AI—it’s where and how. For customers, AI enables more personalized experiences and faster response times. Employees can achieve higher productivity with more intuitive ways of working. Businesses can open new revenue streams and build competitive differentiation while strengthening security. The potential benefits are many—but realizing them isn’t a trivial matter.

The open-source ecosystem is rich with tools that empower developers and security practitioners alike. Two standout projects are Sysdig OSS and Falco, both of which leverage deep system-level instrumentation to provide insights and enhance security. However, while they share a common foundation, they serve distinct purposes. This blog explores the strengths of Sysdig OSS and Falco, how they differ, and how they can complement each other.

If you missed it, over the summer months launched our product on the AWS Marketplace with the promise to deliver the fastest “time-to-security” in the industry for new AWS users. We’ve also officially joined the AWS Partner Network (APN) as a validated AWS partner. This means we went through the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR). We are FTR-approved* and meet the well-architected best practices enforced by AWS, not to brag. ;) Psst.

97% of enterprise leaders consider a well-executed API strategy critical in driving their organization's growth and protecting revenue streams, yet according to a recent study, 84% of security professionals reported API security incidents over the past year. In March, a GitHub breach exposed nearly 13 million API secrets that users had left in the repository over time, severely impacting customer trust and causing reputational damage.

Nine in ten Americans now own a smartphone, according to a 2024 Pew Research study. And these smartphones are increasingly being used for work. A general rise in remote work since the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the usage of mobile devices and personal software for work purposes, as people report in from home, coffee shops, or anywhere. This increased mobility offers many benefits for workers.
