In the digital world, just like in any busy city, there are special roads that information travels on. These roads are called APIs, which stands for Application Programming Interfaces. APIs let different computer programs talk to each other, like ordering from a menu or asking for directions.
But there’s a problem. Just like real roads, these information highways can have security issues. Bad guys, or hackers, can take advantage of these roads to do harmful things like stealing information or sending in bots – these are computer programs that do tasks automatically, but can be used for nasty stuff when programmed by those with bad intentions.
Cequence, a company focused on keeping these roads safe, is now offering new ways to protect against these dangers. They’re like the police officers of the API world. They’ve upgraded their systems to deal with threats from something called Large Language Models (LLMs). LLMs are super smart programs that can write and talk like humans. They’re really cool but can also be tricked into doing things they shouldn’t, like giving out secret information.
Cequence has created a special set of tests to make sure these LLMs can handle ten types of tricky situations, from being fooled by hackers’ tricks to stopping them from being overwhelmed by too many tasks at once. It’s like making sure the LLMs can spot a disguise or not get confused when a lot of people ask them questions at the same time.
They’ve also added ways to spot and stop these AI bots without needing someone to set it up manually. It helps security teams catch these bots before they cause trouble, kind of like having an alarm system that can tell if someone is sneaking around your house.
On top of that, Cequence has shaken hands with other technology companies to help find hidden APIs, kind of like uncovering secret passages. This is important because sometimes these roads can be forgotten or no one knows they’re there, which can be risky.
With their new tools, Cequence can show how information moves through these APIs in a clear picture, making it easier to spot when something’s wrong and fix it.
Understanding this tech stuff can be tricky, but it’s essential to keep information safe. Luckily, companies like Cequence are working hard to make sure the invisible roads our data travel on are secure. And for any business thinking about their own data highways, Diversified Outlook Group can offer insights and advice on keeping them safe.
