Topic:<\/strong> : The Dos and Don\u2019ts of API Security<\/p>

Watch Now<\/a><\/p>

Abstract: <\/strong>
Cybercrime is on the rise, and no technology is immune to attacks by malicious actors. Application programming interfaces (APIs) are becoming more prevalent in cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and mobile applications, thus creating new security risks. APIs are frequently targeted for cyberattacks due to their widespread use, access to sensitive functions and data, and weaknesses such as authentication and authorization misconfigurations, lack of rate limiting, and code injection vulnerabilities.<\/p>

Although organizations should regularly monitor and test APIs to identify and patch flaws and include APIs in incident handling and response<\/a> plans, API security is often overlooked in the development process. API security testing is often more scalable and sustainable than penetration testing, but it is typically performed at the end of development, when detecting errors tends to be problematic and time consuming. Testing at this stage can result in unsecure application architectures, as developers may have shifted to other projects and there may be insufficient time to correct problems before release. This webinar will discuss API security automation and best practices for implementing the automation process.<\/p>
