API security has never been more crucial. Vulnerabilities are growing in volume and severity. AI integrations are a burgeoning attack vector. Increasing GraphQL adoption presents hidden dangers. To protect your organization, you must secure your APIs. Keep reading for our key takeaways from the Wallarm Q2 2025 API ThreatStats report – and find out what you need to do to protect yourself. The Hidden Risk of GraphQL 70% of organizations now use GraphQL. And yet, there were no GraphQL-specific breaches reported in Q2 2025. If that sounds suspicious, it’s because it is. GraphQL slashes payload sizes by up to 99% and offers clients powerful, flexible control over data. However, that same flexibility opens the door to excessive data exposure, denial of service from nested queries, and resolver-level authorization bypasses. GraphQL Risks What’s more, considering that its single dynamic endpoint obscures visibility for traditional security controls, it’s safe to assume that attackers are already exploiting introspection, deep nesting, and injection flaws in poorly secured GraphQL deployments. So why were there no GraphQL breaches in Q2 2025? It’s not because GraphQL is safe; it’s likely because organizations are failing to accurately detect and attribute breaches. Traditional API security tools often fail to support GraphQL, and, as such, organizations should treat it as a unique class of API architecture requiring specialized protections. That includes: Disabling or secure…Read More
