Event Overview

APIs have become the backbone of modern digital interactions, connecting everything from morning coffee purchases to streaming services. But the rise of API-centric architectures has drastically expanded the attack surface -- over 90 percent of web-based cyberattacks are now targeting API endpoints, exploiting new vulnerabilities often overlooked by security teams – and rendered traditional security measures are no longer sufficient. Join F5 Field CTO Chuck Herrin and WWT’s Head of Global Cyber Strategy Traci Byrne as they talk about the urgent need for more dynamic and comprehensive defense strategies to prevent breaches. Chuck and Traci detail how security teams can “shift left” to better address API risks and vulnerabilities and outline practical steps security leaders can take to bolster their defenses.
