Senior Security Consultant Secure Ideas, United States
This talk covers the basics of APIs and why it is important to secure them. First, we will explore the most common vulnerabilities associated with APIs. Next technologies used by penetration testers, such as Burp and Postman, will be showcased. Demonstrations and real-world scenarios will be used to emphasize the potential impact of leaving these vulnerabilities unchecked. Different methods of safeguarding against these attacks will be discussed as we move through the demonstrations. Finally, organizations will be challenged to rethink how they develop and test APIs.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the potential impact that insecure API's can have on their organization and overall security posture.
Participants will learn strategies for developing more secure API's and enhancing existing frameworks. This includes best practices for incorporating security considerations throughout the API development lifecycle.
Attendees will be equipped with the basic skills and tools necessary to begin analyzing their own API's , enabling them to identify and assess potential vulnerabilities within their own systems.
