As cloud adoption soars, APIs have become the critical arteries of modern applications. Unfortunately, they also present an expanding attack surface, attracting malicious actors looking for exploitable vulnerabilities.
Having a secure API is vital to ensuring cyber threat mitigation and protecting against unwanted traffic from bots, spammers and hackers.
This panel discussion will delve into the unique security challenges of cloud APIs, offering practical strategies and insights to mitigate risk and build a robust defense.
Join this session to learn about:
- The evolving threat landscape and the unique risks associated with cloud APIs, including injection attacks, data breaches, and unauthorized access.
- Unique cloud challenges: Addressing unique security considerations for APIs deployed in cloud environments, such as multi-tenancy and distributed systems.
- The role of the cloud provider: Understanding shared responsibility in cloud API security and collaborating with providers for optimal protection.
- Get the basics right: Ensure you are implimenting API security best practices including establishing an inventory, adding security in front of cloud APIs, identity and access management, and monitoring unusual requests.
