API Attack Protection: Don't Overlook Your #1 Attack Vector

APIs are ubiquitous. Every modern software application uses – or is – an API. Every digital business relies on APIs to generate revenue. Every DevOps team innovates on the backs of APIs.

Even with this explosive growth, APIs are consistently overlooked in web application security programs. And attackers are taking advantage of it by increasingly targeting web APIs to gain a foothold, deny access, install bots, escalate privilege, and harvest sensitive data. You’ll learn how to:

• Identify and correlate activity to block tangible threats

• Respond to attack patterns over time and adjust to adversary motions

• Block suspicious entities when behaviors exceed acceptable risk thresholds

• Dramatically reduce false positives without impacting user experience
