Digital transformation (DX) is a technology paradigm that has proven powerful enough to survive several seasons of hype and still emerge as an enduringly valid business proposition. DX is about leveraging new digital technologies to change a company’s fundamental relationships with its customers and suppliers. It frequently means connecting legacy systems to cloud-native applications.

APIs are the foundation to digital transformation, forging connections between applications, platforms, and services. And whether they realize it or not, all of today’s modern businesses are managing thousands of APIs in their cloud and on-premises environments. However, this innovation comes with caution as APIs also present a rapidly expanding attack surface for security teams to monitor and protect.

Noname Security is excited to announce that our API Security Workshop will allow you to earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. That’s right! Noname has partnered with (ISC)2, the world's leading association for empowering cybersecurity professionals and is now an approved (ISC)2 CPE Submitter Partner. By attending our 4-hour API Security Workshop, you will receive 4 CPE credits.

Cloud companies that wish to do business with the United States federal government can only do so if they receive authorization under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). For a cloud service or product to get authorized through FedRAMP, its maker must demonstrate that it meets certain security standards. Given the importance and predominance of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in cloud computing, API security is a critical factor in achieving FedRAMP authorization.

Digital infrastructure is constantly evolving, forcing security professionals to strengthen security operations at an accelerated pace to mitigate risks. With that said, organizations increasingly realize how essential API security is to their information security strategy, and are evaluating solutions that are being touted as potential tools to secure APIs. Recently, eBPF (an evolution of Berkeley Packet Filter) has been a topic of discussion as a method for collecting data on APIs.

The rise of healthcare applications and digital services has ushered in an era of greater visibility and interaction between providers and patients. Patients now have on-demand access to critical information such as medical records, test results, and medications. Providers can communicate with patients in real-time from remote locations, answer questions, and share data via web-based and mobile platforms.
