Leveraging Intelligent Behavior Detection to Protect User Sensitive APIs
Malicious actors are out there, and APIs are their new target. External threats could be attacking your APIs as you read this, and your business might not even know it.
Attacks can come in the form of software applications that run automated tasks and they are everywhere. A growing percentage of a company’s traffic is generated by bots. In some cases, they compose as much as 50 percent of an organization’s traffic.
When these are used with malicious intent these software programs can be used to trigger dangerous attacks. It can lead to information scraping and account abuse. They can also probe for API weaknesses and skew analytics. Such attacks are adaptive and can easily blend in with normal traffic. Without a dedicated API security solution, your APIs could be breached creating serious problems for your brand reputation and customer loyalty.
This is where Apigee Sense comes in. Apigee is the only solution purpose-built for APIs. It collects, analyzes, detects and mitigates API attacks. Apigee Sense algorithms are built from analyzing metadata gathered from a billion daily API calls.
Watch this two-minute video to learn how to protect your APIs against malicious actors.
New Visual Interface for Google Cloud’s Speech-to-Text API Makes API Easy to Use !

At Google Cloud, we’re committed to making artificial intelligence (AI) accessible to everyone and easier to harness for new use cases. That’s why we’re excited to announce the general availability of our intuitive, new visual user interface for Google Cloud’s Speech-to-Text (STT) API, right in Google Cloud Console, which makes the API much simpler and easier for developers to use.
The STT API lets developers convert speech into text by leveraging Google’s years of research in automatic speech recognition and transcription technology. As advancements in AI continue to bring speech to new interfaces and devices, the STT API helps developers add speech functionality to their applications in order to better meet consumer demands.
The STT API covers a wide variety of use cases, from dictation and short commands, to captioning and subtitles. Getting the most of STT, however, can be a complicated process. To achieve the highest accuracy on any AI use case requires careful testing and tuning.
Previously, developers building on the STT API had to do this work manually by carefully experimenting with our API. Just to get started, developers needed familiarity with GCP integration concepts and had to either build their own tools or manage various scripts and API calls to fully understand the API documentation. These actions required cumbersome and time-consuming effort and made measuring, customizing, and improving models even more difficult.
Today’s announcement significantly simplifies the process, facilitating iteration and integration of models into developers’ applications by letting developers perform every API function from within the Google Cloud Console. These tools will make it easier for developers to integrate the STT API with their products or services. This update also gives developers the ability to manage and quickly iterate on their STT model customizations with Model Adaptation.
Model Adaptation allows developers to customize STT specifically for their domains or use cases. Developers can maintain lists of words and weights that will be applied to either every request or just single requests, depending on their needs. Model adaptations are reusable and composable, so once developers have seen good results in the STT Cloud Console, they can deploy to their entire solution.
The Speech-to-Text Cloud Console and Model Adaptation API is available now in all Google Cloud regions and languages and is accessible to all GCP users with no additional cost to that of the underlying API usage. The STT API supports over 70 languages in 120 different local variants. If you’re a developer looking for an easy to use, easy to integrate, and high-quality STT experience, sign up for our free trial and try our new interface on your own datasets today!

APIs power all digital marketing channels and the apps we use today. APIs are a window on your company’s digital assets, exposing them so developers and partners can build mobile apps and become part of your innovation engine.
Thanks to the open API economy, you can build mobile apps that use a mix of APIs; you can combine location APIs with targeted promotions, or map your morning run with a calorie counter. Wrapping an API around your digital assets gets you into the game and builds value that wins customer loyalty and revenue. Marketing is about highlighting value, and promoting that value to customers.
This eBook highlights how APIs are evolving as the business technology that brings the CIO and CMO together. They bridge the gap between what the CMO needs to create value for customers and what the CIO needs to deliver a platform for a digital business. With alignment in place and technology that’s purpose-built for the requirements of the digital world, the potential to grow and succeed is limitless.
Announcing reCAPTCHA Enterprise’s Mobile SDK to Help Protect iOS, Android apps

reCAPTCHA Enterprise is Google’s online fraud detection service that leverages more than a decade of experience defending the internet. reCAPTCHA Enterprise can be used to prevent fraud and attacks perpetrated by scripts, bot software, and humans. When installed inside a mobile app at the point of action, such as login, purchase, or account creation, reCAPTCHA Enterprise can block fake users and bots while allowing legitimate users to proceed.
To provide more complete coverage for native mobile iOS and Android applications, we’re announcing the general availability of the reCAPTCHA Enterprise Mobile SDK. Designed with digital-first and mobile-first organizations in mind, the new Mobile SDK fully integrates reCAPTCHA Enterprise’s frictionless experience on end-users’ mobile devices.
Why should I use the Mobile SDK?
Unlike most web applications, iOS and Android apps run on physical devices that can provide a wealth of device telemetry to help identify fraud and bot activity. By combining both device and network signals, the new mobile SDK can better protect native mobile applications from bot attacks while unlocking the full potential of reCAPTCHA Enterprise. It provides:
- Frictionless customer experience — no picking fire hydrants from a grid
- Easy integration to your native mobile app with support for popular frameworks like Cocoa Pods and Swift Package Manager
- A regularly-updated device threat model to help stay ahead of attack evolution
Protecting against fraud across all your channels
Customers will be able to leverage the new mobile SDK to implement native iOS and Android protection against the OWASP Top 10 automated attacks common on the internet, which include fraudulent account creation, financial hijacking, and credential stuffing. This is particularly important for mobile workforces and end users who use a mobile app to access products and services. Since mobile traffic surpasses web traffic in many industries, it’s even more important to implement a comprehensive mobile app protection strategy to protect against the most prevalent attacks.
Integrating the new Mobile SDK
If you’re interested in learning more about how to integrate the new Mobile SDK, check out the documentation for iOS and Android. Mobile and Web integrations leverage the same easy to understand pricing for Assessments, found here.
