In today’s connected world, automobiles are complex systems driven by APIs, but this brings risks; Traceable ASPEN’s latest research highlights urgent automotive security needs by analyzing recent vulnerabilities, including real-time vehicle tracking and data breaches.

In modern application development, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are pivotal for connectivity and functionality. However, with their rising usage, API security risks also escalate. Ensuring API security isn’t the duty of a single individual or team; it necessitates collaboration among multiple stakeholders. From CISOs to heads of enterprise architecture and product security, this blog delves into the key players and their roles in crafting a robust API security program.

Traceable, a leading API security platform, has released major updates in May 2024, including new compliance policies and issues dashboard, fine-grained filters for targeted API security testing, and enhancements to credential stuffing and volumetric attack detection. These updates empower organizations to maintain API compliance, conduct targeted security testing, and combat advanced API threats effectively.

In this blog post, former CISO and security executive Richard Bird shares his insights on the latest API security trends in the financial sector. Drawing from Traceable’s groundbreaking report, “The State of API Security in Financial Services,” Bird highlights the alarming findings and the critical need for financial institutions to prioritize API security.

Researchers have identified a critical remote code execution vulnerability in PHP, known as CVE-2024-4577.

The RSA Conference 2024 survey of over 125 cybersecurity professionals uncovers the current state of API security, highlighting the challenges organizations face in securing their API ecosystems. The findings emphasize the need for a holistic approach to API security, focusing on collaboration, governance, and proactive measures. As digital transformation accelerates, prioritizing API security is crucial for building resilient systems and driving innovation.

Many consumers are big fans of smart appliances and toys for their ease of use and integration into their smart home setups. However, whenever you can remotely access your smart device, there is always a chance that someone else can too if the manufacturer has not implemented proper security measures. One such incident has caused a wave of media coverage recently – a connected/smart laundry system created by CSC ServiceWorks could be tricked into giving free laundry cycles.

APIs have become the primary way applications exchange data, making them a prime target for fraudsters. However, the same APIs can also be used to detect and prevent fraud. Learn how API security platforms can help businesses consolidate their bot and fraud mitigation efforts to protect their applications and sensitive data.
