Navigating Modern API Security: Trends, Challenges, and Strategies for Financial Services

The financial services sector is increasingly relying on applications. The way consumers interface with their institutions, the growing number of third-party and auxiliary services like payments and collections, and the myriad of internal services are predominantly application-based.

With these services comes the complex mesh of API calls between front-end, back-end, and 3rd party applications, that span traditional and modern private data centers, co-lo exchanges, and a growing number of public clouds.
Not surprisingly, as financial services organizations have realized the importance of APIs, so have attackers. While there’s a dizzying array of solutions to protect against these attackers, not all API security solutions are created equally. So, how can teams find the right-fit approach to reach the summit of peak API protection?

Join us for this webinar where we’ll discuss:

-  Cybersecurity financial services risk predictions for 2024

Deliver Frictionless Security and Scale Your Cloud Application Experience

As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid architectures and microservices, the number of APIs utilized within their ecosystems continues to grow at an exponential rate. This phenomenon, known as API sprawl, poses significant challenges in terms of security, governance, and efficiency. But of them all, API security might require the most urgent response. 

For organizations trying to secure their APIs, multi-cloud complexity and difficulty enforcing consistent security top the list of challenges according to F5’s State of Application Strategy Report (2023). To address API sprawl, organizations need to adopt a more holistic app and API security strategy for their organization including components that deliver runtime protection, posture management, and help integrate security and code testing earlier in the software development lifecycle. 
 
Join the conversation to hear Joshua Haslett, Ian Dinno, and David Remington's answers to hard-hitting questions about API sprawl, management and security.
