CloudSEK's blog emphasizes the critical importance of API security in modern businesses, using the example of a logistics company with vulnerabilities in its Kong API Gateway. Their BeVigil Enterprise platform identified misconfigurations like unauthorized admin access, sensitive data exposure, and the compromise of super-admin tokens. These issues posed significant risks, including data breaches and operational disruptions. BeVigil's proactive approach integrates threat detection, actionable recommendations, and holistic risk mitigation to safeguard API infrastructures, ensuring business continuity and data security. Protecting APIs is a non-negotiable in the digital age.

A single misconfigured endpoint. That’s all it took to expose root-level server access, hardcoded credentials, and sensitive configs of a major travel platform. In this gripping exposé, CloudSEK’s BeVigil unpacks how a seemingly minor oversight escalated into a full-blown Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability—no authentication required. From source code leaks to credential harvesting, discover how attackers could’ve breached the entire infrastructure—and what your organization must do to avoid the same fate.
