Understanding API Breaches: Insights from 'Outliers' and the Complexities of Cybersecurity

Over the last couple of decades in the cybersecurity industry, I have observed how APIs have gained significant importance in modern cloud-based architectures over the past few decades. In fact, they account for over 80% of all web traffic. However, this increased usage has also made APIs vulnerable to cyber threats. A closer look reveals that APIs are now one of the most prominent threat vectors in the cybersecurity landscape.

Overview of AWS IAM Best Practices

In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud security, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) plays a critical role in safeguarding your AWS resources. By following IAM best practices, you can fortify your cloud environment, mitigate risks, and maintain granular control over access permissions. In this quick guide, we will review essential IAM best practices, from implementing least privilege to leveraging advanced features.

Integrated cloud email security (ICES) vs secure email gateway (SEG)

Cybercriminals continually evolve their techniques, leading to more successful phishing attacks. Using techniques such as text-based attacks that utilize social engineering and highly targeted spear phishing, bad actors are able to bypass traditional email security and land in their target’s inbox. According to the organizations surveyed for the 2023 Email Security Risk Report, 92% fell victim to phishing attacks.

AI vs. Hackers: How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the Game in Cybersecurity

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used in every field today and become more and more prevalent. AI analyzes and trains large amounts of data. Furthermore, AI creates data patterns and makes correlations between them. The important thing about creating data patterns is that AI can use these data patterns and correlations for future cases.
