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.
💡 Patch Management Urgency
The window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation continues to shrink. Critical CVEs are now exploited within hours of publication. Automated patch management, virtual patching through WAFs, and rapid deployment pipelines are essential for timely remediation.
