Artificial intelligence threatens the security and integrity of APIs Three out of four people are concerned, but most are taking action now Businesses need to understand the complete picture of the threat
As technology becomes more pervasive, more companies are facing AI-powered security threats, according to new research.
According to the Kong report, a quarter of companies claim to have encountered AI-based security threats, but as many as three-quarters are seriously concerned about the threat in the future. states.
Furthermore, even though the majority (85%) say they are confident in their organization’s security capabilities, more than half (55%) have experienced an API security incident in the past year.
AI increases security threats
As AI security threats grow in prominence, so too does the devastation they cause. One-fifth said their organization experienced an API security incident in the past year that cost them more than $500,000.
Nearly nine in 10 (88%) say API security is currently a top priority, and an equal number (92%) say they have measures in place to combat AI-powered attacks. 84% believe AI and LLM will ensure security APIs are even more difficult.
Marco Palladino, CTO at Kong, said: “This report shows that API security is being taken seriously as part of an overall cybersecurity strategy, but it also shows that API security is being taken seriously as part of an overall cybersecurity strategy. “There are still some blind spots,” he said, expressing optimism.
Regarding future advances in artificial intelligence, Palladino said businesses will likely continue to create vulnerabilities for themselves, so understanding the entire threat landscape will be paramount to a comprehensive approach. Ta.
Many companies are already beginning to realize the success of additional investments. Almost half (45%) are dedicating at least 20% of their cybersecurity budget to API security, using API monitoring and anomaly detection tools (63%) and API gateway solutions (61%). API encryption and tokenization (58%) tops the list.
As companies face increasing AI threats exposing their APIs, it’s clear that prioritizing API security before things get out of hand is imperative, and modern principles such as Zero Trust security It will play an important role in the coming years.
