APIs are the new perimeter: Here’s how CISOs are securing them

Recent breaches suggest attackers are shifting beyond traditional endpoints to target application programming interfaces (APIs). But typical perimeter protections can completely miss this vector. “We used to talk about defense-in-depth and endpoint protection,” says Sean Murphy, CISO at BECU, a nationwide credit union. “That morphed into identity, and now the API is the new perimeter.”…

Why Kubernetes controllers are the perfect backdoor

In my years securing cloud-native environments, I’ve noticed a recurring blind spot. We obsess over the “front doors” such as exposed dashboards, misconfigured RBAC, or unpatched container vulnerabilities. We harden the perimeter, but we often ignore the machinery humming inside.  Sophisticated adversaries have moved beyond simple smash-and-grab tactics. They don’t just want to run a…
