APIs were already ubiquitous in driving modern applications. However, the pandemic has further accelerated growth in innovation and expansion of digital services, making APIs even more widespread. In today’s world, rapid innovation would not be possible without secure APIs. Attacks on APIs are increasing exponentially. Gartner suggests API abuses are the most significant attack vector since 2022. Hence securing APIs is more critical than ever in the past.

A couple weeks ago, ServiceNow and NVIDIA announced a groundbreaking partnership to help expand ServiceNow’s generative AI use cases for their customers to strengthen workflow automation and rapidly increase productivity. ServiceNow is also helping NVIDIA streamline its IT operations by using NVIDIA data to customize NVIDIA NeMo foundation models running on hybrid-cloud infrastructure.

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a non-profit foundation devoted to web application security. One of OWASP's guiding principles is that all of their resources should be freely available and simple to find on their website, enabling anyone to increase the security of their own web applications. They provide forums, tools, videos, and documentation among other things.

APIs power today’s digital economy and enable organizations to succeed in their business innovation efforts. Because every company’s APIs are unique, so are its security gaps, which bad actors will inevitably try to exploit. Only through rich context and deep behavioral analysis can these attackers be stopped. Many of the APIs that enable today’s applications and business services live and breathe within the Amazon Web Service (AWS) ecosystem.

It’s hard to be in the realm of technology and not hear about APIs these days. Whether it’s the launch of the ChatGPT API or news of a significant data breach at Twitter, APIs are having their time in the spotlight. Yet, despite their ubiquity, many still have questions about APIs' capabilities (and limitations). What are APIs for? What do they do? And what are they unable to do in the current era?

We’re excited about achieving several key milestones with Amazon Web Services as we head into re:Inforce 2023 next week. These milestones include achieving the AWS Security Competency, partaking in the Amazon Security Lake launch as a subscriber partner, and the introduction of a Tines-Amazon GuardDuty partner solution. To date, the flexibility of our no-code automation sets us apart from other automation partners by automating across any AWS workflow.

CrowdStrike is defining the future of cloud security by empowering customers to rapidly understand their cloud risk and to detect, prevent and remediate cloud-focused threats. Today we are announcing a series of new cloud security innovations designed to deliver complete visibility into potential attack paths, from endpoint to cloud, and instantly secure vulnerable cloud workloads across build and runtime.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionised various industries, from healthcare to automotive, and smart cities. With countless connected devices now managing critical operations, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more crucial. As the IoT ecosystem continues to expand, new security risks and challenges emerge, demanding an in-depth understanding and effective strategies to address them.
