Demonstrating compliance with data protection regulations has traditionally required significant effort and resources to mitigate mostly familiar risks. However, the digital landscape is evolving rapidly, introducing threats that many enterprise compliance programs don't fully address. Even regulatory bodies themselves can't always keep pace and provide explicit guidelines covering every aspect necessary to prevent breaches.

This is the case with API protection. Every time a customer, partner, or vendor engages with your business digitally, there’s an API behind the scenes facilitating a rapid exchange of information that often includes sensitive data. Understanding and mitigating API threats is essential as APIs become increasingly integral to our technological infrastructure. This webinar will equip you with an understanding of API risks, effective strategies to safeguard your systems, and the direct implications of APIs on your compliance initiatives.

This webinar is ideal for IT professionals, security analysts, compliance officers, and anyone involved in API development and management who is looking to enhance their understanding of API security and compliance.
