APIs - the next underestimated attack surface

Having secured assets like identities, devices, data & infrastructure to a large extent, what escapes the eye mostly/remains the blind spot is the mushrooming security risk associated with APIs. It is an infinite game of protecting your workloads and keep your data safe. Are you aware of how many APIs on an average your organization is using? According to Akamai, 83% of web traffic is the API traffic.

Gartner envisions a shift of API abuse becoming the most common form of web application attack in near future. A pretty sobering statistic for those in charge of developing API's, as well as application and data owners, and those responsible for infrastructure security.

In this session, you'll learn how to successfully implement an effective API security strategy in order to achieve attack disruption and attack surface reduction. This would include build discovery and full lifecycle protection, detection and response coverage for your APIs wherever they reside.

By the end of it, you should have established a clear understanding of what API security entails, and what options based on Microsoft technology you have to make your web application more resilient. Are you ready to disrupt the attack?
