API Exploitation and Security
The API Exploitation and security training is designed to understand the modern API development & intigration issues . The course is heavily focused on building the hybrid approach to analyze the attacks in API integrated web applications and standalone modern APIs .
APIs widely used by many corporate sectors including financial institutions, retail giants, automotive industry, streaming , modern web authentication services and many other industries to make fast operations.
API are treated more like products than code. They are designed for consumption for specific audiences, Mostly modern APIs are documented, and they are versioned in a way that users can have certain expectations of its maintenance and lifecycle.
Like any other productised software, the modern API development has its own development lifecycle of designing, testing, building, managing, and versioning.
The improper design, poor configuration & implementation open the doors for attackers. During the training, we will address multiple critical issues associated with the modern web applications and standalone APIs with various case studies .
This API exploitation and security training is designed for security professionals who focus on securing the design, implementation and overall security of API endpoints and communications.

Testimonials
This is the first time I have attended a class in this format and wondered how effective it would be. It was very effective and therefore I would definitely be interested in attending other classes in the same format. The instructor was very knowlegeable and provided a wealth of information about the current version, especially since the last version I used was several releases ago.
