In an interconnected world, securing APIs is paramount. Enabling seamless communication between different software components in a world of converging systems. However, poor API design can inadvertently introduce vulnerabilities.

In this talk, we’ll dissect how API design directly impacts security and explore the critical intersection of API design and security and the emerging area of securing APIs in the Internet of Things (IoT). Topics include API vulnerabilities, addressing secure design and implementation, and securing IoT. Real-world examples of vulnerable API design issues will be discussed, along with the attack vectors, best practices and innovative solutions.

Attendees will gain insights into addressing these vulnerabilities and challenges while designing and implementing APIs and related systems.
