This year we’ve seen organizations accelerate their so-called digital transformation almost overnight. Now we’re getting to the point where security leaders and business owners need to stop and take stock of what happened, what’s a temporary band aid, and figure out how to build their strategy without the luxury of getting yelled at by vendor booths in Mandalay Bay.

All applications use APIs—they’re nothing new to the development world. But are organizations factoring API security into their broader security strategy effectively? We’ve seen high-profile breaches at well-known companies stemming from their exposure or use of insecure API endpoints. This raises the question of how your software security initiative addresses the controls you need to ensure the APIs you use and produce are secure. Within this segment, Michael Borohovski will discuss key considerations when designing APIs, along with security controls and security testing that could make or break your software. This segment is sponsored by Synopsys.
