API Security

A talk given by Curity's Jonas Iggbom and Axiomatics' David Brossard at Nordic APIs 2024 Platform Summit.

This session starts with an unsecured API.

They conclude by discussing OWASP’s Top Ten API Threats and how their recipe addresses them. Meatballs & Lingonberry are not included.
