The Attack Labs are for technical professionals and managers and will provide an opportunity to use the Akamai API Security platform. We’ll look at API traffic from within the platform, see how it is viewed and analysed, and provide education on posture management.
What you’ll learn about:
- What APIs are and why securing APIs is important
- The OWASP API Top 10 and the associated security risk around the number one vulnerability of APIs — Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA)
- The Akamai API Security platform and the integrations that support posture management/discovery and runtime protection/anomalies
- Reporting capabilities of the Akamai API Security platform
- Policy creation and its importance in automating the remediation process
- Data type tagging and its importance in discovery and security risk detection
- Automating issue detection, issue comprehension, and remediation strategies

Workshop duration and prework
This is a deep-dive, hands-on workshop that runs for 4 hours. The workshop is virtual, so the ability to access a browser and internet sites external to your organisation is required.
There is a small assignment we’ll request that you complete before the workshop — this should only take a few minutes and will ensure your account is set up for the hands-on lab.
