How to Build an Effective API Security Strategy

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
