3 API Security Risks (and How to Protect Against Them)

The exposed and public nature of application programming interfaces (APIs) come with risks including the increased network attack surface. Zero trust principles are helpful for mitigating these risks and making APIs more secure. In this podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI), McKinley Sconiers-Hasan, a solutions engineer in the SEI CERT Division, discusses three API risks and how to address them through the lens of zero trust.

So what yer saying is, modern IT solutions are built on a house-of-cards, and no matter how robust or useful any modern systems become, they will always be, at their foundation, insecure and chaotic, because the people who built that original foundation of cards are all retired and gone? And maybe Cooper was right that instead of trying to extract every possible cent from a broken system, we should invest in a new more robust and secure foundation? Good talk.
