Akamai finds 189 % increase in application and API attacks in EMEA commerce
The report , Slipping Through the Security Gaps : The Rise of Application and API Attacks , finds that such attacks are growing in both frequency and complexity as adversaries look for more innovative ways to exploit this growing attack surface – and there have been a couple of ‘ big bang ’ attacks in the region .
Last year was another record-breaking year for application and API attacks in the commerce sector , as they grew by 189 % in EMEA . This is a major concern since organisations are adopting more web applications and APIs to enhance their business and increase ease of use for customers . The report finds that Local File Inclusion ( LFI ) remains the top attack vector in the region , with year-on-year growth of 115 %, which is in line with global growth of 193 %.

A and protects life online , has released a new State of the Internet ( SOTI ) report that focuses on the increasing proliferation of application and API attacks .
The new Akamai research also finds that there is a 4 % drop in UK finance application and API attacks , making this the only region to experience a decrease in this vertical . This provides further proof that while attackers are drawing away from the big financial institutions , they may in fact be attacking the consumer directly instead .
