Why API Security

Modern business success is defined by the ability of leaders to inspire their teams to innovate and deliver value for their customers. In a rapidly changing and competitive market, speed and velocity is the key to success. However, modern applications also face incredibly complex technical and business challenges. Learn from serial entrepreneur and investor Jyoti Bansal about the key principles that leaders need to account for when building their teams and defining their culture.

API Security Requirements - What you need to have

Several years ago, we became captivated by the new reality posed by Andreessen Horowitz that “software is eating the world”. However, things have changed again. APIs are now eating the world. But how can we secure them? Appsec practices now heavily depend on API security. However, traditional application security tools such as legacy WAFs, RASP, as well as the long list of testing solutions like SCA, SAST and DAST aren’t enough, as they don’t look at the unique behavior and functionality of APIs. They are simply ineffective at detecting and blocking API attacks. To effectively protect APIs, we need to analyze the unique context of APIs with a platform of capabilities and not a one-off scanner. Learn from Traceable AI CTO and co-founder, Sanjay Nagaraj, as he explains the evolution of APIs and provides a new industry framework to help you identify the must-haves in an API security platform.

API Security, Abuse and Data Leakage

API's are the interconnectivity pipe through which data flows between apps and to/from users including threat actors. As the amount of sensitive data which flows through API's increases manifold it is imperative that security teams get a better understanding of the volumes of traffic leaving their apps. From fake accounts creation to account takeovers to data exfiltration to API Fraud the abuse of API's needs a new approach to ensure API's don't become the attack vector for data breaches.

API Catalog: First step towards API Security

API security begins with being able to automatically monitor, catalog and track changes to APIs and their distributed interactions in real time. In this session we talk about the need for an actionable API Catalog, functionality that such a catalog needs to provide and how security teams can go about creating one.
