January 17, 2013 9am PST | 12pm EST | 5pm GMT
APIs present enterprises with many business opportunities but they also create new attack vectors that hackers can potentially exploit. APIs share many of the same threats that plague the Web but APIs are fundamentally different from Web sites and have an entirely unique risk profile that must be addressed.
By adopting a secure API architecture from the beginning, it is possible to address both old and new threats. In this webinar, Scott Morrison – CTO at Layer 7 Technologies – will explain in detail how an enterprise can pursue its API publishing strategy without compromising the security of its on-premise systems and data.
