Are you sure your APIs are secure?
The enormous rise in the use of APIs to exchange data between systems has introduced a popular new attack vector for people with malicious intents. Therefore, to prevent ending up in the news, it's probably a good idea to make sure that your APIs are not vulnerable to common API security weaknesses and exploits. The good news is that API security testing does not have to be hard or time-consuming, and it is not something only people with deep and specialist knowledge can do.
In this session, you will learn how to get started with testing the security of your APIs using common and popular tools and libraries like Postman and REST Assured, and with the 2023 OWASP API security top 10 as our guideline. And because seeing is believing, I will run a number of API security testing experiments and talk you through my thought process and interpretation of the results, so you can replay these experiments against your own APIs right away.
