Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable organizations to grow their businesses and drive innovation. APIs allow applications to easily transfer data to external third-party developers, business partners and internal departments. Since APIs have access to valuable and sensitive data, they have increasingly become a target for cyberattacks.
At the API Security Summit, taking place on March 3, distinguished cybersecurity leaders will discuss the top API security vulnerabilities to be on the lookout for and how to build an effective API security strategy.
The agenda for the API Security Summit will explore the following topics:
- The importance of API security testing
- The role of APIs in their environment
- How are hackers getting in? What can we learn from them?
- How API attacks are different from traditional application attacks
- What leading CISOs are doing today to protect themselves
- How APIs are increasing the attack surface
- Why API management is not enough for API security
- The benefits and limits of “shift left” tactics
- Ways to increase API security fluency across your organization
- How to drive automation across dev and security teams
