IT Leaders on API Security and AI-Enhanced Threats

The majority of businesses report AI investments have already created new opportunities. But what does the AI age mean for API security? And are organizations ready for the rise of AI-enhanced threats?

In API Security Perspectives 2025: AI-Enhanced Threats and API Security, Kong surveyed 700 IT leaders to discuss their concerns for the year ahead — and what they've seen over the past 12 months. Highlights include:

  • 47% who experienced an API security incident in the past 12 months report remediation costs of more than $100,000; 20% reported costs exceeding $500,000
  • AI-enhanced threats are ranked as the top security concern, and 92% are taking measures to counter them
  • 40% are unsure their security investments are sufficient to address emerging risks and more than half of organizations experienced an API security incident in the past year
