CISO Spotlight: Craig Riddell on Curiosity, Translation, and Why API Security is the New Business Imperative

It’s an unusually cold winter morning in Houston, and Craig Riddell is settling into his new role as Wallarm’s Global Field CISO. It’s a position that suits him down to the ground, blending technical depth, empathy, business acumen, and, what Craig believes, the most underrated skill in cybersecurity: curiosity.  Like so many of us, Craig…

The Myth of “Known APIs”: Why Inventory-First Security Models Are Already Obsolete

You probably think the security mantra “you can’t protect what you don’t know about” is an inarguable truth. But you would be wrong. It doesn’t hold water in today’s threat landscape. Of course, it sounds reasonable. Before you secure APIs, you must first discover, inventory, and document them exhaustively. The problem is that this way…

We moved fast and broke things. It’s time for a change.

The phrase “Move fast and break things” is a guiding philosophy in the technology industry. The phrase was coined by Meta CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg more than two decades ago: an operational directive for Facebook developers to prioritize speed and innovation even at the cost of stability. “Unless you are breaking stuff,” Zuckerberg told…

Why API Security Is No Longer an AppSec Problem – And What Security Leaders Must Do Instead

APIs are one of the most important technologies in digital business ecosystems. And yet, the responsibility for their security often falls to AppSec teams – and that’s a problem.  This organizational mismatch creates systemic risk: business teams assume APIs are “secured,” while attackers exploit logic flaws, authorization gaps, and automated attacks in production. As Tim…

These unmanaged dependencies are now the shortest path to your sensitive data. The recent Mixpanel incident is a stark reminder of that fact.  What Happened During…

When your AI Assistant Becomes the Attacker’s Command-and-Control

Earlier this month, Microsoft uncovered SesameOp, a new backdoor malware that abuses the OpenAI Assistants API as a covert command-and-control (C2) channel. The discovery has drawn significant attention within the cybersecurity community. Security teams can no longer focus solely on endpoint malware. Attackers are weaponizing public and legitimate AI assistant APIs and defenders must adjust.…

Developer Leaks API Key for Private Tesla, SpaceX LLMs

In AI, as with so many advancing technologies, security often lags innovation. The xAI incident, during which a sensitive API key remained exposed for nearly two months, is a stark reminder of this disconnect. Such oversights not only jeopardize proprietary technologies but also highlight systemic vulnerabilities in API management. As more organizations integrate AI into…

Wallarm Extends API Security Reach to AI Agents

Wallarm at the 2025 RSA Conference announced that, starting this summer, it will extend the reach of its platform for securing application programming interfaces (APIs) to include artificial intelligence (AI) agents. Tim Erlin, vice president of product for Wallarm, said the Agentic AI Protection capability added to the platform makes it possible to thwart attack..…

Beyond Schema Enforcement: Imperva’s Approach to Delivering Holistic API Security

API security is gaining attention, yet many organizations struggle to move from identifying risks to mitigating them effectively. In their eagerness to strengthen their security posture, some rush to implement schema protection. However, the dynamic and often incomplete nature of API schemas soon reveals a critical gap; schema enforcement alone is not enough for comprehensive…

The API Security Challenge in AI: Preventing Resource Exhaustion and Unauthorized Access

Agentic AI is transforming business. Organizations are increasingly integrating AI agents into core business systems and processes, using them as intermediaries between users and these internal systems. As a result, these organizations are improving efficiency, automating routine tasks, and driving innovation. But these benefits come at a cost.  AI agents rely on APIs to access…

How Contrast ADR Speeds up SOC Incident Response Time| SOC Challenges From Alert Fatigue to Application-Layer Visibility | Contrast Security

Just because you work in a security operations center (SOC) doesn’t mean you have to waste your time chasing  dragons. And by “dragons,” we mean the traditional SOC’s difficulty identifying cyberattacks that originate in the black box of the application layer.  The post How Contrast ADR Speeds up SOC Incident Response Time| SOC Challenges From…

AI Agents and API Security: The Hidden Risks Lurking in Your Business Logic

Modern organizations are becoming increasingly reliant on agentic AI, and for good reason: AI agents can dramatically improve efficiency and automate mission-critical functions like customer support, sales, operations, and even security. However, this deep integration into business processes introduces risks that, without proper API security, can compromise sensitive data and decision-making.  Challenging the Myth of…

HIPAA Security Rule Amendment: Key Public Comments and Next Steps

Major cybersecurity breaches continue to plague the US healthcare industry, and on December 27, 2024, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend the HIPAA Security Rule, titled “The HIPAA Security Rule to Strengthen the Cybersecurity of Electronic Protected Health Information”. Comments were requested and…
