In an increasingly connected world, IoT and cloud infrastructures are the backbone of modern innovation. As IoT evolves, it intertwines with hybrid cloud architectures. APIs—essential for communication between IoT devices and the cloud—serve as both lifelines and attack vectors. Yet, as these technologies integrate deeper into our lives and businesses, they introduce hidden vulnerabilities—misconfigurations—that few fully understand. These oversights are no longer merely technical glitches; they are amplifiers of systemic risk, creating cascading failures across the digital ecosystem and staggering costs. Human error is also a common cause for misconfiguration. According to Verizon’s Data Breach investigation report, human error is […]
