APIs, digital transformation and the need for a new approach to security

APIs are more than a tool for integration: they are changing the way companies do business. APIs enable new business models and faster time-to-market, make it easier to drive digital transformation, and make it possible to create better customer experiences for web and mobile apps. But without a comprehensive API strategy enterprises will be hard pressed to expand access to corporate assets without unnecessary risk. Today most organisations don't even know how many APIs they’ve deployed, let alone if they are secure. That’s a scary proposition when you consider that API exploits are expected to become the most frequent attack vector for enterprises over the next two years. In this webinar, guest speaker Randy Heffner of Forrester and Arxan’s Ken Jochims will discuss how APIs are driving digital innovation, how these changes expand an organisation’s attack surface, and key considerations for API security. You’ll learn: -Common ways enterprises use APIs -The security risks and attack scenarios APIs face -The key components to comprehensive API protection -Why it’s important to incorporate API security as part of DevOps -How to get started with an API security strategy
