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
