Overview
A growing number of organizations are in the midst of establishing formal initiatives to open up REST and Web APIs to mobile applications, Cloud services and diverse communities of online developers outside corporate boundaries. Managing access to the information exposed by these APIs constitutes a critical security concern for enterprise API initiatives.
In order to create a consistent access security model, log access activity and generate meaningful reports for this new breed of APIs published across domains, organizations are shifting their attention to extending existing investments in the management and federation of identities, using standardized protocols like SSO, SAML and XACML.
This Webinar, hosted by The 451 Group Security Analyst Steve Coplan and Layer 7 Director of Solutions Engineering Francois Lascelles, will discuss:
- Extending existing identity investments into the API security realm
- The potential for harnessing emerging standards like OAuth
- About the specific identity challenges in the API security arena
- About some of the newer identity technologies like OAuth and their potential
- How to extend existing Single Sign-On, federation and identity management technologies and protocols to deal with API security considerations
