6:15-7:45: API/Webservice/REST Security

API’s are built on the foundation of the same technology that is used to build web applications. Therefore, many of the standard web security defenses will apply when building webservices. However, stateless and other specialized patterns make defending API’s different than normal web security in some regards. Access control, request forgery, session management, and other security layers, while familiar, often require different security designs in API’s. This module will review these needed security patterns as well as review a host of other specialized attacks and defenses that developers need to be aware of when building secure API’s.
