Do you love the idea of robbing a bank? Good news you can, totally ethically. Join us for the next live API Security Masterclass. We’ll cover an introduction to APIs, what kind of vulnerabilities are in APIs, how you can find them, and how you can test your own APIs. Whether you’re on the blue team and trying to understand threats, a hacker new to APIs or a developer trying to better understand how your code can go wrong, these live classes will tell you everything you need to know. And don’t leave it on in the background, these are interactive sessions so you can get the most out of it!
We’ve explored APIs inside out—from understanding what they are and why developers rely on them, to identifying common security flaws and mastering the OWASP API Top 10. We’ve even hacked an API live and set up security programs to fix vulnerabilities. But what happens when something slips through the cracks? What if malicious activity bypasses our defenses? In this month’s API Masterclass, we’re diving into the next step: incident response. When an API is under attack, how do you recognize it, respond effectively, and ensure it’s fixed?
This session will guide you through the essentials of API incident response. You’ll learn how to implement logging and alerts to detect API breaches in real-time, validate potential attacks, and take immediate action. We’ll cover how to assemble a response team that ensures you have the right people in place to tackle the crisis. Finally, we’ll walk you through the steps to resolve an attack and conduct a comprehensive post-incident analysis. Throughout the session, we’ll use a hands-on, tabletop approach. You’ll work on building an incident response plan for a simulated banking scenario, with practical insights you can take back and apply to your own organization. Because when an API breach happens, your team needs to be ready to recognize, respond, and recover with confidence.
