API Vulnerabilities and Attack Surface Management

ThreatX by A10 Networks: API Vulnerabilities and Attack Surface Management

In this video, Carlo Alpuerto of A10 Networks discusses API security with Beau Hamilton of SourceForge. He explains that API security is a broad term that includes addressing vulnerabilities in the development cycle, which takes time and involves various stages like QA, staging, and UAT.

He also highlights the importance of API mapping and attack surface management, including identifying "shadow APIs." Alpuerto explains that A10 Networks' approach is to protect against attacks by looking at security from the outside in, using information from various sources to determine if an API is vulnerable or even known.
