STRATEGIC REEL: APIs are the new perimeter — and business logic attacks are slipping through

APIs have become the digital glue of the enterprise — and attackers know it.

In this debut edition of the Last Watchdog Strategic Reel (LWSR), A10 Networks’ Field CISO Jamison Utter cuts through the noise from RSAC 2025 with a sharp breakdown of today’s API threatscape.

From 15,000 APIs per enterprise to the illusion of “free” cloud security, Utter outlines how outdated defenses are failing where it matters most: the business logic layer.

He makes the case for a consolidated WAAP approach that unifies discovery, enforcement, bot defense, and logic-layer protection.

The embedded LWSR (above) distills the highlights in under a minute. Or feel free to view the YouTube Shorts version. It’s the first in a new series of mini-snapshot packages designed to amplify meaningful insight across YouTube, LinkedIn, and LastWatchdog.com.
