  API Security Risks & How to Mitigate Them Thesis Statement: In this paper, I will explore the growing risks associated with API security, identify common vulnerabilities, and provide actionable strategies to mitigate these risks. As APIs become increasingly integral to modern applications, addressing these security concerns is crucial to ensuring data protection and system integrity. Through a detailed analysis of existing literature, my original insights into the evolving landscape of API security will contribute to better understanding and defending against API-related threats. Introduction As the backbone of modern web services, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are integral to the connectivity and functionality of digital ecosystems. However, with the rise in their usage, APIs have become a prime target for cyberattacks. APIs allow communication between different systems, making them a gateway for malicious actors to exploit vulnerabilities in authentication,...

 Navigating the Rising Threat of Cyber Warfare      Cyber-attacks are increasing as technology use grows globally. Attackers have more targets and vectors with society's deepening connectivity and digital reliance. Cyber defenses are improving through collaboration, but risks remain.      In our modern hyperconnected society, cybersecurity has become more crucial than ever. As more of our digital lives and critical infrastructure move online, there is an increasing need to secure systems against potential threats. While cyber-attacks from various actors are rising in frequency and sophistication, so are cyber defenses and resiliency. Through collaboration between cybersecurity professionals, technology leaders, and policy makers, important progress is being made to safeguard individuals, businesses, and nations against emerging challenges. Cyber initiatives are strengthening infrastructure, expanding threat intelligence sharing, training new talent...
