APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are the digital glue holding organisations together. They enable software and systems to communicate, automate workflows, and enhance user experiences. But as their use grows, so does the risk of API security breaches.
Cybercriminals see APIs as an easy entry point to steal data, disrupt services, and exploit vulnerabilities. Misconfigured APIs, weak authentication, and lack of visibility create security gaps that businesses often overlook.
Join ITogether, Akamai and Yorkshire Cyber Security Cluster for a Lunch & Learn Webinar, where we will break down the latest threats and the best API security practices to keep your business safe:
Speakers:
Curtis Aston Akamai – API security expert discussing the latest API attack trends
Simon Richardson ITogether – Cybersecurity veteran providing practical API security solutions
This 45-minute session includes insights into the latest API security vulnerabilities, followed by a 10-minute Q&A.
Why API Security Matters More Than Ever
APIs are designed to share data and streamline operations, but they can also expose your systems to attack. Some of the most common API security threats include:
- API abuse – Attackers exploit vulnerabilities in exposed APIs to gain unauthorised access.
- Broken authentication – Weak API security policies allow hackers to bypass authentication.
- Data exposure – Poorly secured APIs leak sensitive information, leading to data breaches.
- Business logic attacks – Cybercriminals manipulate API endpoints to disrupt operations.
- DDoS attacks on APIs – Automated bots overwhelm APIs, causing API downtime and service failures.
API security risks are increasing as businesses rely more on cloud applications and third-party integrations. Without proper API security measures, your organisation could be the next victim of a data breach.
