As we move through 2024, the Wallarm Research Team continues to monitor the evolving API vulnerability and threat landscape. Our latest Q2 ThreatStats™ Report reveals critical trends and developments that are reshaping the security environment. Continuing from our Q1 findings, the surge in AI API vulnerabilities is not only persisting but intensifying, with an alarming increase in both the volume and severity of exploits. This quarter, we provide a deep dive into the most significant AI API exploits and examine the top API threat types that have emerged. Key Insights from Q2 2024 The Growing Threat of AI API Attacks As we highlighted in last quarter’s API ThreatStats™ Report, the integration of AI into various applications has brought new risks, with API attacks on AI systems accelerating at an unprecedented rate. The Q2 report reveals a threefold increase in vulnerabilities within well-known AI systems, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced security measures in this space. The rapid growth of AI APIs in the digital ecosystem has exposed organizations to new, often overlooked, risks. This is a trend that we believe will continue. Mergers & Acquisitions: A New Security Frontier One of the most surprising findings this quarter is the significant security risks introduced during mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The report details how ongoing M&A processes have exposed multiple organizations to considerable threats. Notable incidents include breaches at platforms like…Read More
