CISO Connect.
Detect · Expose · Defend · Trust
For CISOs and Heads of Application Security: incidents are climbing while visibility is falling. Those two lines are moving in the wrong directions at once.
The attack surface grew. The visibility shrank.
A closed-door discussion for security leaders on API exposure a perimeter firewall was never built to catch, and what AI-generated code is adding to it.
API-related incidents have climbed to 87%, while the share of organizations that know which APIs return sensitive data has fallen to 23%. Visibility is getting worse at exactly the moment the surface is expanding.
Layer 7 DDoS attacks rose 104% over two years as attackers industrialised campaigns blending API abuse, web application attacks and DDoS. AI bots now account for 47.9% of all commerce traffic. An independent Phronesis study puts Akamai API Security at 320% ROI and a 60% reduction in breach risk.
What we'll be exploring.
Talking points on the table include, but are not limited to:
Eighty-seven against twenty-three
The widening gap between incident rate and basic visibility, and what closes it.
AI bots at half of commerce traffic
What 47.9% does to your attack surface, and how teams tell good bots from bad.
Beyond the perimeter
Why a firewall was never designed to catch this class of exposure.
Finding it before they do
Building an inventory of what is actually exposed, and keeping it current.
