Many business leaders believe their company is “secure enough” because they haven’t suffered a breach yet. But cybercriminals don’t wait for signs of weakness. They look for them, and they often find them where businesses assume IT has it covered.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. A timely reminder that cybersecurity is not just a technical issue; it's a business-critical responsibility. While companies invest heavily in tools and tech, attackers continue to target the easiest entry point: people.

Healthcare providers rely on digital systems to deliver care and keep operations running. Yet many still fall short on cybersecurity, despite being one of the most frequently targeted sectors. Challenges like legacy systems, budget constraints, and the complexity of securing both IT and medical devices contribute to this vulnerability.

APIs enable seamless integration, but they often bypass traditional security controls. Attackers exploit misconfigured endpoints, abuse business logic, and leverage forgotten “shadow APIs” to infiltrate systems and exfiltrate data at scale. Their high traffic volume makes them perfect for automated attacks.
