Collaborative ISACA San Diego & SecurityStudio Academy January Event:
An Informal Conversation about APIs

APIs are everywhere—and most organizations lack a proper program for managing their security. Join us for an engaging discussion on what APIs are, why they matter, and the risks they introduce when left unmanaged. We’ll cover what organizations need to know, actionable next steps, and why SecurityStudio Academy created the API Security and Governance program to help professionals address this growing challenge.

This session is perfect for security professionals, technologists, and students who want practical insights into API security and governance. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, ask questions, and walk away with steps you can take immediately to strengthen your organization’s security posture.

ISACA San Diego January Meeting: Cybersecurity's Dirty Secret: Why Most Budgets Go To Waste

What if attending an event could show you how to save your company thousands to millions in wasted cybersecurity spending?

That’s not hype, it’s the reality when you stop treating spending dollars like a bottomless pit and start treating it like a business strategy.

Most executives assume the more money they throw at cybersecurity, the safer they’ll be. Wrong. In fact, the bigger your budget, the more likely you’re bleeding cash on shelfware, pointless meetings, and “solutions” that solve nothing. This event flips the script: it shows you how to slash costs, cut risk, and still move faster than your competition.
