API Security as a Digital Initiative Enabler

Focused on how organizations can use APIs and microservices to modernize their architecture and accelerate digital transformation

One of the significant issues in the API lifecycle is the lack of visibility to help answer the five Ws. Today, most users have some visibility into a few of the Ws, but when it comes to answering them all, you either have to gather information from many different systems and correlate it, or you have blind spots. In this session we will show you how a unified solution from CA Technologies (Runscope + APIM + APM) provides the critical information needed to answer “What is happening with my APIs”, “When is it happening”, “Who is being impacted”, “Why is it happening” and “Where is the problem”.

Digital technology dramatically improves the economics and capabilities of every business, but only if you master the rules and systems that govern digital experiences, digital operations, digital ecosystems, and digital innovation. When business leaders see technology as a business asset that’s central to their success, they are in a position to transform. The benefits are immense – those who succeed find it 10 times cheaper and faster to engage customers, create offerings, harness partners, and operate their businesses.

Our featured guest for this original webcast is Forrester Research Vice President and Principal Analyst Ted Schadler, who will connect the dots between business and technology, and introduce the elements of modern application architecture that all business leaders should know about – the cloud, APIs, microservices, analytics, IoT, and automation. Business leaders will learn how to:

· Master digital’s new rules of business
· Embrace the role that technology plays in business success
· Invest in modern application architecture to accelerate business development
· Work better with IT to bring your digital initiatives to market faster

All registrants will also benefit from a complimentary copy of Forrester’s Digital Rewrites the Rules of Business report.

Applications these days are not self-contained. They are dynamically reading and writing content leveraging hundreds of internal and 3rd party application program interfaces (APIs). This allows applications of all kinds like Mobile, Web, or Wearable apps to provide a vibrant experience. However, if just one of the APIs the application leverage isn’t available, is slow to respond, or is returning the incorrect data, the outcome can be a frowny-faced user who can have a dramatic impact on the business. In this session, we will walk you through the fundamentals of API monitoring and how Runscope can help you to improve API uptime, performance, and data integrity.

When your APIs enforce integrity / security / integration logic, they become your “application backend”. When you add automated UIs, they become solutions. And when you create them with declarative rules rather than low level code, they become solutions that deliver strategic business value, a competitive edge in Digital Transformation. We’ll show how, by creating a working system in 20 minutes… instead of weeks.

We will also cover the new and shiny in the latest release of the underlying technology, CA Live API Creator v 5.0 – innovation in team development, simplified DevOps, an eXtensible data source framework, and connectivity to mongoDB.

Whether driven by PSD2 compliance, market demand for mobile apps, or fintech competition, open banking is becoming a top priority for financial businesses. Through exclusive research and customer successes, we determined that building a modern application architecture with APIs, microservices and strong authentication is a key success factor in this space. In fact, our latest report shows that fully digital banks enjoy an estimated 25% cost-to-income ratio, versus 60% for traditional institutions.

For this webcast, we assembled a panel that includes Mehdi Medjaoui, author of Banking APIs: State of the Market, along with experts in API and security capabilities, to introduce the elements of modern application architecture that all digital banking business leaders should know about – API management, microservices, strong authentication and risk-based security. You’ll learn about:

* The current state of open banking, and what your peers are doing

* How to invest in modern application architecture to improve your open banking projects

* How to align better with IT to accelerate your time-to-market

All registrants will also benefit from a complimentary copy of our Banking APIs: State of the Market report.

If you deal with data- be it for writing business applications, or for enabling an enterprise solution, or making business decisions – you will find value in discovering what CA Live API Creator has to offer. CA Live API Creator brings speed and simplicity into tasks and processes requiring federating data across data sources (SQL, NoSQL, Cloud Services) and applications. In this session, we will create a full system requiring integration of data across databases and applications – with messaging enabled microservices – created with low code and an intuitive UI – in less than 20 minutes.

If you’re migrating to a microservice architecture, it’s extremely important to make sure you don’t open up new security vulnerabilities as a result. At the same time, you have to make sure the access control approach you take doesn’t become a bottleneck for your developers or for the scalability of your system.

Join this webinar to learn:

- The state of the industry when it comes to API access control for microservices
- The DHARMA model for defining API security in a microservice architecture
- A specific DHARMA implementation using the new CA Microgateway

The low code movement is erupting in the enterprise, creating some confusion but also providing opportunity. The boundaries between IT and Lines of Business are blurring as a need for agility and velocity drives adoption of less code-centric development tools. Low code approaches to building microservices and APIs offer a way to simplify complex application development and data integration into graphical, declarative configuration, thus accelerating the development lifecycle and making developers more efficient and productive. This provides an opportunity to accelerate delivery of key initiatives without sacrificing quality.

Jason Bloomberg, president of Intellyx, will discuss the low code movement, its impact on the enterprise and developers, and its future. Renu Motwani, Product Manager for CA Live API Creator, will then discuss CA’s low code solution for creating and executing low code APIs and microservices, and provide a demonstration of its capabilities.

Your API strategy is the backbone of how your application architecture comes to life. But with pressure to move fast often teams move on to coding and build a first working version to prove out the concept - incidentally investing too much time to be really willing to rethink the approach.

There is another way... There's a whole world of API prototyping possibilities out there that allows for quick design and more importantly - enables teams to fail fast and get to the best solution that supports the strategy before investing in expensive coding time.

Join this presentation to learn:

- What makes a great API strategy
- What's important for your API design and architecture
- About API prototyping tools and approaches to help you get started
