Security Intelligence
💡 API Abuse and Enumeration
Modern attacks increasingly target APIs rather than traditional web interfaces. Attackers enumerate endpoints, test for broken authentication, and exploit excessive data exposure. API attacks are harder to detect as they mimic legitimate programmatic access patterns.
💡 Zero-Day Vulnerability Markets
Zero-day vulnerabilities command premium prices in both legitimate and criminal markets. Government agencies, defensive security firms, and criminal organizations compete for these undisclosed flaws, creating a complex ecosystem around vulnerability discovery and disclosure.
