The Haunted House of API's

Today, we are releasing another episode for Cybersecurity Awareness month, in our series entitled the Haunted House of API’s, sponsored by our friends at Traceable AI. In this series, we are building awareness around API’s, their security risks – and what you can do about it. Traceable AI is building One Platform to secure every API, so you can discover, protect, and test all your API's with contextual API security, enabling organizations to minimize risk and maximize the value API's bring to their customers.

A Portal to the Beyond: Securing Gen AI and other Third-Party APIs in Your Applications

Today’s episode is titled A Portal to the Beyond: Securing Gen AI and other Third-Party APIs in Your Applications, with Allison Averill. Developers are building exciting new features with Gen AI, often leveraging 3^rd party APIs. Doing this isn’t new, but are these integrations secure? These APIs open a portal to the beyond – and introduce supply chain risk to your applications. Allison is a Generative AI and product management expert at Traceable, and she will explore the risks lurking in generative AI and other 3^rd party APIs, sharing best practices for securing these integrations, so you can ensure they don’t become the stuff of security horror stories.

How are application developers leveraging 3rd party APIs today, and how is the landscape changing?
How do third-party APIs introduce risks to applications and what are some common mistakes organizations make when integrating with third party APIs?
How are generative AI APIs different from other third party APIs? What unique risks do they introduce?
Have you encountered any 'nightmare' scenarios where an insecure third-party API caused a security incident?
What best practices should organizations follow to ensure secure integrations?
How can organizations balance the need for innovation with the necessity of maintaining strict security controls when working with external partners?
