Addressing Top API Security Risks

API Security

A talk given by Judith Kahrer from Curity at Nordic APIs 2023 Platform Summit.

The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) re-evaluated security risks related to APIs and published an update for the Top 10 API Security Risks document early 2023. This talk highlights how to mitigate the top of the top with one simple measure: OAuth. It introduces best practices, and provides insights on how OAuth can address Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) and Broken Authentication to improve API security.
