Untangling APIs: Addressing Sprawl and Securing Your Digital Ecosystem

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.
