AI’s Role in Delivery Performance Excellence

The financial services sector is increasingly relying on applications. The way consumers interface with their institutions, the growing number of third-party and auxiliary services like payments and collections, and the myriad of internal services are predominantly application-based.

With these services comes the complex mesh of API calls between front-end, back-end, and 3rd party applications, that span traditional and modern private data centers, co-lo exchanges, and a growing number of public clouds.

Not surprisingly, as financial services organizations have realized the importance of APIs, so have attackers. While there’s a dizzying array of solutions to protect against these attackers, not all API security solutions are created equally. So, how can teams find the right-fit approach to reach the summit of peak API protection?

Join us for this webinar where we will discuss:
- Cybersecurity financial services risk predictions for 2024
- The challenges of API security in a hybrid, multi-cloud digital world
- API best practices for modern financial services

Security in the Hybrid, Multi-Cloud Digital World

"You can't protect what you can't see" and "it takes a village" are familiar expressions within security and risk teams. Visibility and policy enforcement are fundamental pillars in cybersecurity and critical components within a holistic API security strategy. But the existing landscape complicates those efforts.

Why? Architecture is becoming de-centralized and distributed, transforming apps into a digital fabric of business logic interconnected by APIs. Yet the enterprise catalog continues to be powered by a mix of legacy and modern apps across data centers, clouds, and at the edge. This hybrid, multi-cloud digital world introduces major risks driven by third-party integrations, inconsistent security controls across cloud providers, and continuous code updates across complex software supply chains and CI/CD pipelines.

So how can you secure APIs in this modern digital fabric? Well, it takes a village

In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- The challenges of API security in a hybrid, multi-cloud digital world
- How to get a handle on API and tool sprawl
- Specific API security challenges and best practices for financial services
- Expert insights on trends and solutions for API security
