API Security: An Emerging Concern in Zero Trust Implementations

Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Podcast Series

Application programing interfaces, more commonly known as APIs, are the engines behind the majority of internet traffic. The pervasive and public nature of APIs have increased the attack surface of the systems and applications they are used in. In this podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI), McKinley Sconiers-Hasan, a solutions engineer in the SEI’s CERT Division, sits down with Tim Morrow, Situational Awareness Technical Manager, also with the CERT Division, to discuss emerging API security issues and the application of zero-trust architecture in securing those systems and applications.
