A Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS) attack was launched on Canada-based VOIP services provided named VoIP.ms, disrupting its phone calls and other of its web services. From the past few days, all those accessing the website were being invited with an Error 1020 or access denied message. To those uninitiated, the Quebec based web related service provider serves around 80k customers across 125 countries and so the interruption might have affected all those.

Application programming interfaces (APIs) are a critical part of most modern programs and applications. In fact, both cloud deployments and mobile applications have come to rely so heavily on APIs that you can’t have either without an API managing components somewhere along the line. Many larger companies, especially those with a big online presence, have hundreds or even thousands of APIs embedded in their infrastructure.

In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.
