CISO Hours: Three Key Principles for API Security

Marc Andreessen once famously stated that "software is eating the world." Today, we can observe that APIs are playing a significant role in shaping the future of software. This shift is accompanied by changes in the attack surface, as indicated by Gartner research suggesting that 90% of web-enabled apps will have API-related vulnerabilities.

Join Tim Erlin, head of Product at Wallarm, and Stepan Ilyin, one of Wallarm’s co-founders, as they guide you through the essential components of a successful App and API security program: discovery, protection, and testing.

APIs come in various forms, such as REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSockets, each serving specific use cases and carrying common vulnerabilities. Irrespective of the types of APIs you utilize, you will gain insights into:

• Effectively addressing the most prevalent API security issues.
• The key components involved in constructing your API security strategy.
• Tools available to empower product security teams in keeping pace with the rapid development and deployment of applications.
