CrowdStrike and Salt Security Integrate for API Protection

Amid increasing competition in artificial intelligence, Asian hedge funds are investing in Chinese tech firms like Xiaomi and Baidu, despite U.S. restrictions on advanced chip exports. Analysts note that Chinese AI models are catching up to and even surpassing U.S. counterparts, leading to a notable shift in the AI landscape. Concurrently, the security of APIs has become critical as they are frequently targeted by cybercriminals, with a 21% rise in vulnerabilities reported in recent months. In response, Salt Security has partnered with CrowdStrike to enhance API security through integration with CrowdStrike's Next-Gen SIEM, allowing for better detection and response to threats. This collaboration aims to provide organizations with comprehensive visibility into API activity and streamline threat management processes. As API incidents have more than doubled in the past year, this partnership highlights the importance of robust API security frameworks in today’s digital environment.
