Brief
This week, we have a podcast from Stoplight on three trends in API security; an article on whether GraphQL introduces new security risks; views on the importance of API discovery and inventories; and a report from Cloudflare on the rise of API attacks. We also have news of an upcoming panel discussion at the RSA conference.
Podcast: Three trends on starting with API security
Stoplight recently featured an interview with Travis Spencer (CEO of Curity) on their API Intersection podcast where Spencer discussed key trends in the API security industry: more openness, more regulation, and higher levels of security.
The first trend is toward the adoption of technologies such as OpenID Connect (OIDC) which enables developers outside financial services to add strong identity to their products.
