OWASP API Top 10 Threats - Episode I

In this 4-part webinar series, Inon Shkedy (Head of Security Research, Traceable ; co-author OWASP API Top 10) explores the OWASP API Top 10 project and provides detailed explanations about the API threats documented in the OWASP project.

In the first episode in the series, Inon shares the motivation behind the project and answers the following questions:

‍

• Why is there a need for a new OWASP project for APIs?
• How has application security changed in the last few years?
• Why have APIs become such an attractive target for attackers?

He will also cover the most critical API vulnerability - Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) and see how attackers have managed to exploit it in many large companies like Uber, Facebook, and Verizon.
