Logic Abuse, Outage Resilience, and Q3 API Threats
Wallarm: API Security Leader
Defend Against API and AI Security Threats, Don’t Just Detect Them.
Business logic abuse is redefining API security, cloud reliability remains under the microscope after the recent AWS outage, and Q3 ThreatStats show attackers doubling down on API attack paths. This issue compiles the most significant insights shaping API risk today.
🔎 OWASP Top 10 for Business Logic Abuse
The first-ever OWASP Top 10 for Business Logic Abuse is here, and it is reshaping how the industry understands API risk. Business logic flaws do not rely on injections or misconfigurations. They exploit how systems are meant to work. From replaying expired tokens to manipulating multi-step flows, these silent failures often slip past traditional security tools.
Our latest post breaks down the most common forms of business logic abuse with real-world examples, how PCI DSS 4.0 raises the bar, and how Wallarm detects and stops these attacks before they cause damage.
🎥 AWS Outage Analysis On Demand
When AWS stumbles, everyone feels it. Our on-demand webinar, After the AWS Outage: How to Build Systems That Survive, breaks down what truly failed and how to design infrastructure that withstands the next major disruption.
We cover:
- multi-AZ vs true resilience
- diversifying control planes like DNS and identity
- modern dual-active patterns
- how to justify resilience investments before the next outage
👾 API ThreatStats Q3 2025
APIs are rapidly becoming attackers' favorite pathways, as Q3 2025 proves. Wallarm’s latest ThreatStats report reveals a 20% increase in API vulnerabilities, a surge in AI-API flaws, and a significant rise in business logic abuse that traditional AppSec tools overlook entirely.
From OAuth token exploits to Model Context Protocol vulnerabilities, attackers are shifting from breaking code to manipulating trust chains.
🌐 Until Next Time
This quarter highlights a clear trend. Attackers are exploiting the logic of systems, the fragility of cloud dependencies, and the blind spots in API design. Staying ahead means understanding how these patterns evolve and preparing for the next wave.
Stay secure and stay curious.
