As API and AI adoption grows across the Middle East, so do the expectations around how data is handled. For many organizations operating in this region, it’s not just about securing applications. It’s about doing it in a way that keeps data in-country and aligned with local requirements. Today, we’re introducing the Wallarm Middle East [...]

Most organizations treating AI security as a model problem are defending the wrong layer. Security teams filter prompts, patch jailbreaks, and tune model behavior, which is all necessary work, while the actual attack surface sits largely unexamined underneath. That surface is the API layer: the endpoints AI systems use to retrieve data, call tools, and [...]

Your legal team just handed you a 400-page document and said "figure out compliance." The EU AI Act is live, your organization falls under its scope, which is broader than many expect. Even non‑EU companies must comply if their AI systems are used, deployed, or produce effects within the European Union. In practice, that means that global organizations [...]

Your board wants AI. Your developers are building with it. Your budget committee is asking for an ROI timeline. But as CISO, you're the one who has to answer when the inevitable question comes up: "How do we know this is secure?" If you're like most security leaders, you're caught between two impossible positions. Say [...]

AI systems are no longer just isolated models responding to human prompts.  In modern production environments, they are increasingly chained together – delegating tasks, calling tools, and coordinating decisions with limited or no human oversight. Almost all that communication happens through APIs.  This shift offers enormous productivity benefits. But it has also complicated security. Because [...]

AI agents have moved from novelty to operational reality, acting autonomously across business systems in ways traditional AI security posture management (AISPM) and IAM can’t fully govern. Learn why risk now emerges at runtime, where existing posture tools fall short, and how Agentic SPM enables continuous discovery, runtime decision control, and auditability for autonomous agents.

The shadow technology problem is getting worse.  Over the past few years, organizations have scaled microservices, cloud-native apps, and partner integrations faster than corporate governance models could keep up, resulting in undocumented or shadow APIs.  We’re now seeing this pattern all over again with AI systems. And, even worse, AI introduces non-deterministic behavior, autonomous actions, [...]
