The flipside of the exponential adoption of APIs over the past decade has been the upsurge in the sheer volume of API attacks. Stories of API security breaches are everywhere which shines a harsh spotlight on the ease of API abuse and the complexities of robust API security. Join this webinar as two of the industry’s leading experts guide you through some real-world cases of API security attacks and also share some best practices for securing your APIs.
They dive into some new and old crucial vulnerabilities highlighted in the recent OWASP API Security Top 10, such as enforcing the authorization variants (BOLA, BFLA and BOPLA), protecting authentication endpoints and JWT validation. They also bring the threats to life with several demos, providing a practical look at how these vulnerabilities can be exploited, but also how they can be prevented through a combination of design-time and run-time protection.
At the end of this session, you will have an actionable set of guidelines to assess and improve the security of your APIs in the face of a number of identified threats.
