The Impact of IoT on API Security: ??? More devices mean more APIs. Each additional API can become a potential entry point for attackers. ?? IoT devices often use various communication protocols, complicating security measures and increasing the risk. ?? Many IoT devices have minimal processing power, making it challenging to implement robust security measures like encryption and regular updates. ?? With IoT devices collecting vast amounts of personal data, ensuring that APIs handling this data are secure is crucial to maintain user trust. ?? The rapidly evolving IoT landscape often outpaces regulatory frameworks, leaving gaps in security standards for APIs. https://hubs.la/Q02R80tv0

Gartner gets it. Third-party applications and APIs are the biggest risks hiding in plain sight. They have access to your most sensitive data. Do you know what they're doing with your data or are you relying on inherent trust? Don't tell your TPRM team that. #CyberSecurity #APISecurity #GartnerInsights #TPRM

?? Let’s talk about the Gartner report on third-party API security ?? Two days after I joined Vorlon Security, we got some exciting news: Gartner named us a representative vendor in their new report, Adapt Your Third-Party API Security to 3 Specific Use Cases. Third-party APIs are an expanding and opaque attack surface. With third-party breaches growing 68% YoY (Verizon DBIR 2023), I expect to see more analyst coverage on third-party API security. Here’s my blog post TL;DR (link in the comments): ?? Third-party APIs require a different playbook. The APIs you publish? Those are relatively straightforward to secure in that you’re in control. But third-party APIs—the ones your business and your SaaS vendors depend on—are a different beast. They’re constantly changing, and every update can increase data exposure, break compliance rules, or violate company policy. ?? Gartner lays out 3 critical use cases: 1?? Outbound Data Flows: Think customer data sent to a payment processor. Without a clear inventory and governance, you’re blind to where sensitive data is going. 2?? Inbound Data Consumption: Every API call to your SaaS tools is a potential gateway for malicious payloads. Are you validating and inspecting everything? 3?? SaaS-to-SaaS Connections: Your interconnected SaaS tools might be sharing data across 3rd, 4th, or even 5th parties. Do you even know what’s happening at that depth? ?? My take: Continuous monitoring and governance are essential. In speaking with our customers, regulators are catching on, too, and they’re increasingly asking for proof of ongoing oversight across their API ecosystem (not just the APIs they publish). At Vorlon, we’re laser-focused on third-party API security, helping businesses: ? Monitor and inventory third-party API data flows ? Detect anomalous traffic and data ? Govern SaaS-to-SaaS connections (3rd, 4th and 5th parties) What’s your biggest challenge or question regarding third-party API security? #CyberSecurity #APISecurity #GartnerInsights #TPRM

Data is the the new GOLD ? It's valuable, hard to find, and even harder to protect. Which is why it's so important to prioritize data before incidents happen. ??
