Cequence Security, a pioneer in API security and bot management, unveiled new insights from its CQ Prime threat research team that reveal a surge in cyber threats as businesses race to comply with the March 31 PCI DSS 4.0 deadline. The research underscores the escalating risks of API-driven fraud, credential stuffing, and payment system abuse, particularly in retail and financial services.
Drawing on billions of real transactions and attack data from Cequence’s Unified API Protection (UAP) platform, the report highlights the growing attack surface cybercriminals exploit in payment infrastructure, loyalty programs, and product pricing systems.
