API Exploitation and Security
The API Exploitation and security training enhance the regular pentesters knowledge to the next level. API is widely used by many corporate sectors, including financial institutions, retail giants, the automotive industry, the streaming industry, modern web authentication services and many other industries that use API’s to make fast operations.
Modern APIs adhere to standards (typically HTTP and REST) that are developer-friendly, easily accessible and understood broadly.API are treated more like products than code. They are designed for consumption for specific audiences, Mostly modern API is documented, and they are versioned in a way that users can have certain expectations of its maintenance and lifecycle.
Like any other productized software, the modern API has its software development lifecycle (SDLC) of designing, testing, building, managing, and versioning. Also, modern APIs are well documented for consumption 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 APIs with various case studies and live examples.
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.

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.
