A report by Kong reveals growing concerns over AI-enhanced security threats, with 25% of respondents having encountered such risks linked to APIs or LLMs. Despite 85% of respondents expressing confidence in their security capabilities, 55% reported experiencing API security incidents in the past year. The findings suggest a critical disconnect, highlighting that while 92% are countering AI threats, many overlook basic API security measures. As organizations adopt zero-trust architectures and invest in various defensive measures, challenges in securing APIs against AI disruptions need urgent attention for effective risk mitigation.
