Let’s talk about APIs.

APIs are, in my opinion, the digital glue that holds together modern applications. They connect systems, make processes run smoother, and deliver better/improved user experiences. From powering mobile apps to enabling integrations between platforms, APIs are essential to the digital world. But with great power comes great responsibility. Every API represents a potential doorway into your organization’s sensitive data and systems, a doorway that cybercriminals are eager to exploit.

The increasing reliance on APIs has turned them into one of the most targeted attack vectors in cybersecurity. A misconfigured API or a single overlooked vulnerability can lead to consequences, including data breaches, unauthorized access or even the complete compromise of a system. 

Effective API security is more than just a tech problem; it’s a critical business priority. It’s about ensuring your customers’ trust, protecting your intellectual property and safeguarding your reputation in an era where a breach makes headlines faster.

To tackle this challenge, organizations need more than just tools. They need strategies, best practices and a better understanding of what makes APIs powerful and perilous.

A panel session at Enterprise Cybersecurity Expo 2025, “API Security: Protecting Web APIs,” led by Neal Quinn, Head of Cloud Services at Radware (News - Alert), promises to cut through the noise and deliver actionable insights.

Taking place from 3:00-3:45 PM on Tuesday, February 11, Quinn will look at the vulnerabilities most commonly exploited by attackers (like injection attacks and unauthorized access) and provide attendees with proven strategies to combat them. From authentication to rate limiting, Quinn will unpack the best practices every organization needs to secure their APIs and stay one step ahead of evolving threats.

This session is a chance to gain valuable knowledge and connect with industry leaders. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your defenses and protect the APIs that power your business.
