Day Three | November 12, 2020, Thursday

11:00 AM Building an Effective API Security Strategy

In the last decade, APIs have become fundamental to our teams, partners, and customers. While we’d like to believe it all happened as a carefully executed plan, let’s be honest… there’s as much luck as foresight in the mix. Luckily, success drives success so we’ve seen things explode in great ways. Unfortunately, that very success has cost us too.

APIs are becoming a consistent and devastating attack vector for applications that store everything from financial records to passport information to what you’re looking for in a date. In this session, we’ll reconsider some of our earliest assumptions and lay out some strategies for bringing our APIs out of the shadows and protecting ourselves, our partners, and our customers.

Attend this session to know more on how: 

  • Teams will see the progression of how APIs grow in their organization
  • Teams will understand these are normal growing pains
  • Teams will get concrete steps to examine their API security
  • Teams will see that security is a team sport
