Richard Bird

This session will discuss API security's importance in a Zero Trust Framework. Many current API security vendors are falling short of the mark in facilitating Zero Trust while securing the new attack surface created by the rise of APIs. Working closely with the thought leaders in Zero Trust (including John Kindervag and Chase Cunningham), Richard Bird is uniquely positioned to speak to the impact and importance of API Security in relation to Zero Trust. Richard can outline the core principles of zero trust, contending that proper API Security practices may be the pathway to achieve Zero Trust outcomes at the API layer.The session will also explore:Why Zero Trust MUST include the API layer for holistic and resilient securityEmbarking on the Zero Trust journey and how it benefits the security industry and organizations around the worldHow the evolution in infrastructure and the onset of new attack surfaces require us to expand our perspective and include the API layer in security strategies
