The explosion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has transformed our world in countless ways, from smart factories to connected healthcare systems. According to recent projections by IoT Analytics, the number of connected IoT devices is expected to reach 40 billion by 2030 . This exponential growth has created an expansive and often invisible attack surface that traditional security measures struggle to protect.

Think about how your banking app connects to payment processors or how your healthcare provider’s system shares records securely – APIs have become essential for modern digital interactions, enabling applications to communicate and share data effortlessly.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries, but with this innovation come new security challenges as threat actors explore AI’s powerful capabilities. They’re adopting new techniques, targeting AI models, injecting malicious code into AI processes, and exploiting vulnerabilities in AI-related software packages.
