Application Security ≠ API Security: Understanding the Differences & the Need for Both

Modern applications are built on APIs, yet traditional application security approaches often overlook this critical attack surface. While application security focuses on code vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and runtime protections, API security addresses the unique risks posed by API exposure, authentication, data access, and business logic abuse. In this webinar, we'll break down the relationship between API Security and Application Security, highlighting where they overlap, how they differ, and why organizations must prioritize both to protect against modern threats. We'll also discuss how strengthening API security can help reduce key risks on your risk heatmap, making them less likely to occur and minimizing their potential impact. Who should attend? CISOs, CIOs, Security Architects, SOC teams, DevSecOps, and anyone responsible for securing applications and APIs in today's evolving threat landscape. Join us to learn how API security helps reduce organizational risk, enabling security leaders to manage API threats effectively and align security efforts with business objectives.
