API security testing workshop with Bas Dijkstra

Did you know that, as of 2023, 83% of all internet traffic originates from API calls? APIs have significantly changed how we design and develop applications.

As a result, APIs have become a very important attack vector for people with malicious intent. So, you probably want to make sure that your APIs are secure!

But how do you get started investigating the security of your APIs? Isn’t security testing something that requires deep technical knowledge and highly specific expertise?

Well, that doesn’t have to be the case. In fact, getting started with API security testing mostly requires some healthy curiosity, a bit of creative thinking and some guidelines, such as the 2023 OWASP API security top 10, to help you on your way.

In this workshop, you’ll learn about some of the most common API security vulnerabilities and how to investigate whether your APIs are falling victim to them. You’ll see how you can use popular API testing tools to perform valuable security experiments on your APIs and how to interpret and discuss the results with your team and other stakeholders.
