Dive deep into advanced API security patterns for a practical approach to fortifying API ecosystems. We’ll explore how API gateways and service meshes can work in tandem to improve your security posture. Learn how to defend APIs from threats with advanced security mechanisms, such as mutual TLS, rate-limiting, circuit breaking and access control policies. Get strategies for implementing robust observability to effectively identify security issues and respond to incidents. This session will include a practical demonstration of real-world attack scenarios, highlighting the importance of a defense-in-depth strategy.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define the roles of API gateways and service meshes in securing API-driven architectures and how to effectively integrate them into your infrastructure.
  • Implement advanced security mechanisms, such as mutual TLS, rate limiting and access control policies, to protect your APIs from threats.
  • Apply best practices and lessons learned from real-world attack scenarios and case studies to enhance the security posture of your organization's API ecosystem.
