ACFW firewall test prologue still failing at the basics
The results of our soon-to-be-published Advanced Cloud Firewall (ACFW) test are hard to ignore. Some vendors are failing badly at the basics like SQL injection, command injection, Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and API abuse with block percentages under 20%, sometimes way under. Those are just the application-based threats, never mind the vulnerability-based attacks. While it’s……

Why API Security Is No Longer an AppSec Problem And What Security Leaders Must Do Instead
APIs are one of the most important technologies in digital business ecosystems. And yet, the responsibility for their security often falls to AppSec teams and that’s a problem. This organizational mismatch creates systemic risk: business teams assume APIs are “secured,” while attackers exploit logic flaws, authorization gaps, and automated attacks in production. As Tim […]…
