As Hardware, API and Network Vulnerabilities Rise, Defenders Rethink Strategies
Bugcrowd’s latest research reveals a surge in hardware, API, and network vulnerabilities, fueled in part by the rapid adoption of AI-assisted development. Critical flaws and broken access control remain top concerns, while experts warn that agentic AI will intensify risks if not governed with strong privilege and monitoring controls. The report also highlights the evolving role of CISOs — from technical guardians to business-aligned risk leaders — as the attack surface grows and adversaries innovate faster than defenders.
