APIs are a blessing and a curse. They’re the backbone of the modern internet. They also expose complex behaviors that are often poorly documented, stitched together across legacy and cloud systems, and updated faster than security teams can review. Three key groups typically shoulder the burden of protecting them: DevOps teams are already racing to keep uptime high and deployments smooth AppSec engineers chasing visibility into what traffic actually looks like in production Compliance officers…
APIs are now the beating heart of digital infrastructure. But as they have risen in importance, they’ve also become prime targets for attackers. Complex, often poorly understood API behaviors present rich opportunities for exploitation, and too often, security teams are left scrambling to protect critical infrastructure with outdated tools or cumbersome deployments. Wallarm’s Security Edge is the answer to this problem. Our next-generation, edge-based API protection platform delivers hosted, managed, low-latency security at the API…
Throughout the past few years, APIs have become the backbone of digital infrastructure. They enable software-to-software communication, improve integration and interoperability, support modular architecture, and more. But as API use has exploded, so has API traffic volume and complexity, making them increasingly difficult to secure. And the rise of AI agents and automation have complicated matters further. The result? APIs have become a favourite attack vector for cybercriminals. In the 2025 Wallarm ThreatStats Report, we…
By Ivan Novikov and Stepan Ilyin When we started Wallarm, we focused on the APIs that power modern apps. We built an API-first platform, used AI from day one, and secured early patents in behavior-based detection and automated policy creation. The result: real-time, inline blocking with automatic API discovery that protects production, not just dashboards. Today’s investment isn’t only fuel for innovation—it’s proof of enterprise recognition. Large customers are standardizing on Wallarm because the ideas…
API security has never been more crucial. Vulnerabilities are growing in volume and severity. AI integrations are a burgeoning attack vector. Increasing GraphQL adoption presents hidden dangers. To protect your organization, you must secure your APIs. Keep reading for our key takeaways from the Wallarm Q2 2025 API ThreatStats report – and find out what you need to do to protect yourself. The Hidden Risk of GraphQL 70% of organizations now use GraphQL. And yet,…
Unrestricted Resource Consumption (API4:2023) is the only threat category in the OWASP API Security Top 10 explicitly dedicated to Denial of Service (DoS) and resource abuse. But despite being just one category, attackers can exploit it in many different ways; from large file uploads and expensive GraphQL queries to abuse of metered third-party services like SMS gateways or AI/LLM APIs. These attacks can lead not only to performance degradation and service unavailability, but also to…
