Time & Date:
May 17th | TBD

APIs are everywhere, but API security is a disaster. Stories of API security breaches seem to be just another news cycle away, shining a harsh spotlight on the ease of API abuse and the complexities of robust API security.

In this expert session, we use real-world cases to dive into best practices for securing your APIs. We dive into crucial vulnerabilities highlighted in the OWASP API Security top 10, exposing the areas you need to safeguard against. We’ll discuss real-world case studies, where you’ll see how even high-profile organizations can fall victim to these weaknesses. But we don’t stop there. We also bring the threats to life with demos, providing a practical look at how these vulnerabilities can be exploited. At the end of this session, you will have an actionable set of guidelines to assess and improve the security of your own APIs.
