Get ready for an epic showdown in the world of API security! In this live demo, we will walk you through real-world API vulnerabilities based on the OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks. The session will feature a hacking “smackdown”, with us playing the roles of attacker and defender, exposing vulnerabilities and securing them in real-time.
After each round, you will be able to recognize and understand these threats in your own work, and learn how to implement robust security controls to make sure these vulnerabilities don’t come to life.
Along the way, you will learn how to build smarter defenses, avoid common pitfalls, and secure your APIs. With a dash of humor and plenty of practical insights, this talk promises to be as entertaining as it is informative, because, after all, securing your APIs doesn’t have to be a fight to the death, just a fun challenge!
