A talk by Amjad Afanah of FX Labs at the Austin API Summit 2019 in Austin, Texas.

With the increasing adoption of shift-left testing, more and more software development teams are shifting application quality considerations closer to the developer (that is, to the "left" of the supply chain) so that potential issues can be avoided or resolved earlier, even before code is committed. Unfortunately, API security is often neglected by development teams, exposing their applications to serious security risks. Unlike a quality defect, where there is an upper limit, the true cost of a security issue is unlimited.

In this session, you will learn about the most common API vulnerabilities, including login attacks, RBAC, ABAC, distributed denial of service, injections, data attacks, and others. You will also learn about the best practices for integrating security into API testing workflows and how to implement effective DevSecOps programs that start at the earliest points of the development process and track the workload throughout its lifecycle.
