APIs are the lifelines of modern applications – but invisible dangers lurk in their dense “digital forest.” Incorrectly secured endpoints can become stumbling blocks and make entire systems vulnerable. In this live session, security expert Christian Wenz takes you on an expedition through the OWASP API Top 10 – the ten biggest risks for APIs – and shows you how to navigate safely through the API forest.
In this interactive session, you will gain a practical overview of the ten most critical security risks for APIs and learn why they are so dangerous. Christian Wenz explains modern attacks and insecure authentication mechanisms and shows concrete countermeasures to effectively mitigate API vulnerabilities. You will also learn how companies are now embedding API security as an integral part of their IT security strategy and how you can apply these best practices directly to your projects.
