  • The Transition Toward API-specific Security Tools

    ·

    Melinda Marks

    APIs act as critical connections between applications and data within myriad IT processes today, and as such, they make for strong targets for cyberattackers looking to gain access to organizations’ systems. Due to several unique facets of APIs, securing them against cyberthreats requires specialized technologies. Recent research by Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group found that many organizations may not be using purpose-built API security tools to the extent they should, which is to their detriment.

  • Non-human Identity Compromise Is Common and Getting Board-level Attention

    ·

    Todd Thiemann

    Non-human identities (NHIs) play a role in practically every IT process, from application communication to AI initiatives. NHIs typically have significant privileges that can be manipulated during cyberattacks. While human identities have played a well-understood role in cyberattacks, under-secured NHIs are becoming more recognized as a contributing factor to cyberincidents. Recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group found that exposed NHIs are indeed contributing to today’s incidents and successful breaches involving NHIs typically get board-level attention.

  • Enterprises Recognize Non-human Identities Are Insufficiently Secured

    ·

    Todd Thiemann

    Non-human identities (NHIs) are a critical part of IT operations at many businesses today for the roles they play in a variety of processes, from data exchange and application communication to IoT connections and AI functions. Recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group revealed that these identities are proliferating against a backdrop of ongoing digital transformation and technology innovations, and that means organizations must develop strategies to observe and secure their NHI estate to control the risk this part of a rapidly expanding cyberattack surface poses.

  • API Security From Development to Runtime

    ·

    Emily Marsh

    Every API is a potential attack vector, and adversaries have a variety of avenues to compromise endpoints at their disposal. Attacks on availability, exploitation of weak authentication, and the abuse of shadow APIs are all common and can easily lead to sensitive data loss. Success requires security operations and tools spanning the software development process, from development to runtime, to help teams discover, manage, configure, monitor, and protect APIs. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed IT and cybersecurity professionals to gain insights into these trends.

  • API Security From Development to Runtime

    ·

    John Grady

    Every API is a potential attack vector, and adversaries have a variety of avenues to compromise endpoints at their disposal. Attacks on availability, exploitation of weak authentication, and the abuse of shadow APIs are all common and can easily lead to sensitive data loss. The breadth of tools used to secure APIs and issues with collaboration across personas responsible for ensuring secure development, deployment, and operation of APIs may be creating more challenges than organizations realize. Success requires security operations and tools spanning the software development process, from development to runtime, to help teams discover, manage, configure, monitor, and protect APIs. Leaders need to understand the behaviors that forward-thinking organizations have undertaken and how to properly assess solutions to secure APIs from development to runtime.

    To gain insights into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 385 IT, cybersecurity, and application development professionals in North America (US and Canada) involved securing their organization’s APIs.

  • Continuous Cyber Assets Analysis Is Key to Effective Risk Mitigation and Threat Management

    ·

    Tyler Shields

    Organizations struggle to effectively mitigate threat and vulnerability exposure due to a lack of visibility into their always-changing cyber asset landscape. This problem is made even more difficult by the increasing growth and complexity of cloud-native technologies. Recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group shows that while organizations may recognize the importance of real-time asset data for managing cyber-risk, only a small percentage are continuously collecting and analyzing this information from a security perspective.

  • Cloud-native Infrastructure Risk Reduction in Modern Application Development

    ·

    Melinda Marks

    The rise of cloud-native infrastructure is driving efforts to modernize application development. However, it’s simultaneously creating new and complex security issues. The increased pace and ephemeral nature of cloud-native development makes asset visibility and infrastructure configuration security difficult. This report discusses how organizations can achieve cloud-native risk reduction using modern infrastructure security tactics and technologies. As application development is modernized, security teams must innovate around the security processes they provide to the development team to secure their applications.
