PRO SESSION (API): State of API Security 2024
Thursday November 7, 2024 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST
API World -- Workshop Stage A
Jeremy Snyder, FireTail.io, CEO and Founder

To start off, Jeremy will summarize key points and findings from extensive research into the API security landscape in 2024 with a look at our growing reliance on APIs and how APIs are increasingly being used as an attack surface.

Then, he’ll go over statistics on API proliferation and recap key developments from 2023, including the OWASP Top 10 Update 2023 and the impact AI is having on API security. He will pay particular attention to the massive expansion of API calling capabilities that came via recent OpenAI Updates and the overall impact of AI on API security.

Jeremy will then look at increasing regulatory oversight, the current shift toward personal accountability for CISOs and what this means for cyber security against a backdrop of increasingly sophisticated API attacks.

Jeremy will present real-world examples and show what we can learn from them, while drawing on data from a decade of data breaches, including notable cases like Points.com, moveIT, Money Lover and bugs in West Bengal and Rajasthan government websites, as well as others.

Jeremy will analyze API breaches by primary and secondary attack vectors and compare these findings to what we witnessed in 2023.

Finally, this talk will provide the actionable insights and practical advice needed to help you implement effective API security strategies across your organization. Jeremy will cover the 6 pillars of API security needed for companies to secure their APIs, as well as guidance on implementing authentication, authorization, input validation, encryption, and regular security assessments.

Overall, this talk will emphasize the importance of API security, summarize findings from the last 12 months, explore the trends we’re seeing in cyber security and make predictions for the rest of 2024, as well as providing recommendations and tips for improving cybersecurity postures.
