The API threat: cybersecurity’s next frontier

Date: 17th Oct 2018

Venue: Ivy Tower Bridge, One Tower Bridge, Tower Bridge Rd, London SE1 2AA

Today’s organisations know that to realise the true potential of data means moving beyond a world of apps and to a world that exploit the benefits of emerging technologies such as Internet of Things, augmented and virtual reality. They know, too, that only by connecting to their supply chain and wider ecosystem can they create greater, mutual value and generate new and disruptive business models.

For an increasing number of enterprise organisations, the answer to this challenge lies with APIs (application programming interfaces). With the API opportunity comes risk, however. The traditional ‘castles and castles’ approach to cybersecurity will prove insufficient.

In the course of this CBR Executive Breakfast, in association with Axway, we will discuss the security implications of an API-driven approach to IT infrastructure. And we’ll look at solutions to address the challenge.

We will explore a range of issues, including how to:
- Deploy API cybersecurity solutions that go beyond access control
- Prevent data theft and DDoS attacks
- Identify attacks that take control of accounts
- Use ‘honey pots’ to capture criminal behaviour

Axway will also explain how it is deploying artificial intelligence (AI) to address the API security threat.

It promises to be an instructive and insightful morning in the company of industry experts and peers. Do join us.
