API security has never been more important because modern APIs are operational necessities. Unfortunately, many organizations are failing to adapt their security models to a rapidly changing API threat landscape. Like it or not, we live in an AI-first world, and API security must reflect that reality. The Postman 2025 State of API Report is confirmation of that fact. AI is Becoming Business Critical AI already plays a significant role in modern business functions. A…
Authentication issues seem like low-level attacks. But authentication today – especially API authentication – can be more difficult than people expect. Companies rely on APIs to carry sensitive information every day. If access to those APIs is not properly secured, all the sophisticated security solutions companies use to protect their data elsewhere are completely undermined. A single API authentication slip could expose sensitive information just as well as a major security oversight—with the same devastating…
2025 has been one of Wallarm’s biggest years yet.

Injection attacks are among the oldest tricks in the attacker playbook. And yet they persist. The problem is that the core weakness, trusting user inputs too much, keeps resurfacing in new forms. As organizations have shifted to API-driven architectures and integrated AI systems that consume unstructured input, the attack surface has expanded dramatically. As a result, injection is no longer just a server-side SQL issue: it now encompasses NoSQL, GraphQL, cross-site scripting (XSS), AI prompts,…
For this Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we thought it important to draw attention to some of the most common and dangerous API vulnerabilities. This week, we’re starting with Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA). BOLA vulnerabilities top the OWASP API Top Ten. And for good reason: they’re startlingly prevalent, remarkably easy to exploit, and can have devastating consequences. So, let’s explore what they are, why they matter, and how you can mitigate them. What is a BOLA…
AJ Debole is Field CISO at Oracle, but her journey began far from the corporate boardroom. After starting out in law and government, she moved into healthcare and cyber defense, where she led teams through ransomware crises. In this spotlight, she explores the next wave of challenges – aligning security with business incentives, taming AI sprawl, and securing the APIs that connect it all. From Public Service to the C-Suite: The Story so Far Early…
