// AGGREGATE DATA
Threat Reports
Patterns pulled from our own engagement data  what we're actually finding, not industry survey averages.
Where the findings cluster
Across recent engagements, access control issues  broken object-level authorization, overly broad IAM roles, missing rate limits  account for the largest share of high-severity findings, ahead of classic injection vulnerabilities.
This tracks with the broader shift toward API-first architectures: more surface area for authorization logic to get inconsistent across endpoints.
What this means for prioritization
If your last assessment was framed purely around the OWASP Top 10, it may be under-weighting authorization and configuration issues relative to what we're actually seeing exploited. Worth checking when scoping your next test.
