API Attack Awareness: When Authentication Fails, Exposing APIs to Risk
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. […] First…

What AI Reveals About Web Applications”, and Why It Matters
Before an attacker ever sends a payload, they’ve already done the work of understanding how your environment is built. They look at your login flows, your JavaScript files, your error messages, your API documentation, your GitHub repos. These are all clues that help them understand how your systems behave. AI is significantly accelerating reconnaissance and…

Attackers Exploit Defender for Endpoint Cloud API to Bypass Authentication and Disrupt Incident Response
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint’s cloud communication can be abused to bypass authentication, intercept commands, and spoof results, allowing attackers to derail incident response and mislead analysts. Recent research shows that multiple backend endpoints accept requests without effectively validating tokens, enabling unauthenticated manipulation if a machine ID and tenant ID are known. Microsoft reportedly classified the…
