Speedscale: Avoid Regulatory Icebergs with Traffic Replay, and Save Money

Jul 22, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale

It has never been more critical to establish a solid foundation for regulatory compliance. Regulations govern a wide range of functions.

Some of them are less obvious, especially with the ever-changing definition of what constitutes private and identifiable data. This article provides an overview of regulatory compliance challenges and the hidden risks organizations face beneath the surface.

In operations environments where every second counts, it offers a direct line to the right person, fast.

Automation solves most of these problems-but only when done correctly.

API Security: Validating Auth and Access with Traffic Simulation Starts with Behavior

Jul 18, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale

Security breaches rarely begin with a hidden zero-day exploit or a complex web of escalated hacks. They often start in very simple ways – an internal team member is breached, a permission is misconfigured, an overly permissive API endpoint is overlooked, or a JWT simply doesn’t expire. An API, or application programming interface, is a set of protocols and tools that enable different software systems to communicate and exchange data, making them essential in modern software development.

But what if your tests are lying to you? Lurking beneath even the most sophisticated test suites is a subtle, pervasive threat: data coupling.
