Top 7 API Security Tools for Banks and Fintechs in 2026

Every digital banking transaction today, whether it’s a fund transfer, a loan approval, or a balance check through a fintech app, runs through an API. API security for banking means protecting these connections from attacks that go far beyond simple hacking attempts: fraud rings probing for account access, bots automating fake transfers, and partners quietly overstepping the access they were given.

From Encrypted Mobile Traffic to Payment Manipulation

How KomodoSec’s AigentX Penetration Tester reverse engineered client-side encryption, turned the bypass into reusable Burp tooling, and used that access to validate a real business-logic flaw in a production mobile application. Client-side secrecy failed. Server-side trust became the real vulnerability. THE CHALLENGE A mobile app with TLS, certificate pinning, and a second encryption layer.

Demo - Agent Action Control

Netskope Skylight Agent Action Control is an inline security capability within the Netskope Skylight AI Security suite designed to evaluate, govern, and enforce real-time controls over the actions performed by autonomous AI agents. Rather than simply blocking or allowing an entire AI application or coding assistant, it intercepts attempted agent operations—such as code pushes, database modifications, or API calls—before they execute.

CrowdStrike Accelerates Real-Time Data Classification with On-Device AI

Modern data security depends on understanding sensitive data as it is created, accessed, and moved in real time directly on the endpoint. In addition to identifying predefined patterns such as credit card numbers or Social Security numbers, organizations must protect unstructured information including documents, chat logs, support tickets, AI prompts, medical records, and free-text fields.

Alert: AI is Accelerating Targeted Social Engineering Attacks

AI tools are drastically improving the speed of the reconnaissance stage of targeted social engineering attacks, according to researchers at ESET. Attackers can use these tools to trawl the internet for publicly available information about potential victims, and incorporate this information into personalized spear phishing attacks.

Research - From Square Root to /root: Escalating Privileges in Azure Containers with Python in Excel

Isolation is not the same thing as security. Ron Ben Yizhak from SafeBreach Labs presented this research at Black Hat USA and DEF CON: when Microsoft shipped Python in Excel, the code didn't run on a machine. It ran in an isolated container in Azure. So he asked the obvious question. How isolated is it, really? An isolated environment still has an attack surface. It just moves. See how Ron: If your teams are evaluating cloud-executed code features, this one is worth the full read—the methodology matters as much as the findings.

Close the Discovery Gaps in Your CTEM Program with Seemplicity

CTEM Discovery is about more than finding assets. It’s about understanding what exists, what’s actually being scanned, and how data from different tools connects. Seemplicity correlates security, inventory, identity, and ownership data across sources to create a unified view of each asset, expose coverage gaps, and give security teams the context they need to prioritize, validate, and remediate exposures effectively.
