What is an API attack and how does it work

If you want to visualize how data flows across your connected applications, you can think back to that childhood game of Chutes and Ladders (also called Snakes and Ladders). As a kid, the board felt like a confusing grid that had the weirdest, seemingly arbitrary connections between blocks. In your modern digital environment, your Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) fulfill the same role that the ladders and chutes/snakes fulfilled, connecting disparate blocks across a larger whole.

Move from a High-Cost Legacy SIEM to High-Speed Falcon LogScale

The fastest adversary can “break out” — or move laterally — in only seven minutes after compromising an endpoint. Yes, you heard that right. Seven minutes. In the relentless race against adversaries, every second counts. To avoid breaches, you need to detect and stop adversaries before they can break out and expand their realm of control.

New threats and vulnerabilities can pop up on a nearly daily basis. Don’t let this discourage you because this is also what can make the role so satisfying!

What You Need to know about API security

When people talk about complex, interconnected ecosystems, they’re really talking about how applications share data and communicate with each other. Like the air-lock on a spaceship lets people pass between physical environments, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable data to pass between digital environments. However, since APIs act as access points between applications, they create potential security risks.

10 rules for security leadership

I have worked as a security leader since the early commercial days of the internet, where the CISO role only existed in some areas of financial services. Participating in the growth and maturity of security as a business function has been an amazing journey. I have learned a lot of lessons on my own, through my personal experiences, or via my peers. One thing I was not able to do was learn from experienced CISOs that have time and distance to reflect on how to best be successful as a CISO.
