PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT IS ONLINE ONLY
In collaboration with FRSecure, and TeejLab, ISACA San Diego is excited to announce our interactive online workshop series on API Security. Consisting of 4 workshops in total, each workshop is designed to help individuals and organizations understand the importance of Web APIs in today's digital economy, and various business risks they pose to organizations.
Web APIs benefit organizations immensely through accelerated innovations, newer business models, competitive differentiation. Their growing significance can be measured based on the fact that APIs contribute 83% of the Internet traffic today. This growing API usage also means increased cybersecurity risks for enterprises. Given the importance of APIs in digital transformation and the risk they pose to enterprises, it is imperative for Security, Compliance and Audit professionals to better understand various API risks.
In this 4-series workshop, we'll discuss various risks that originate from enterprise API ecosystems. In particular, we'll talk about business risks that are tied to the underlying API security problems. We’ll then provide an overview of an API Governance framework that effectively manages API business risks. This framework is inspired by Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Zero Trust model. Throughout these workshops, we’ll highlight the best industry practices and hands-on examples for API Risk Management.
Note that these workshops are online, open to the public, available at no cost, and designed for curious minds of all ages and level(s) of technological experience. Participants will receive 4 CPEs per workshop for attending complete sessions. Therefore, aspiring attendees have the chance to receive up to 16 CPEs by attending all 4 workshops.
