Description
 As APIs become more ubiquitous, they are increasingly targeted by hackers, so getting your API security right is a necessity. This week on API Intersection, we thought, what better way to celebrate Security September than to bring on the API security expert himself, Dan Barahona?  As Founder of APIsec University and Head of Growth at APIsec, Dan Barahona comes to the table with over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. He created APISec University to raise awareness and educate about API risks and security, and many of their courses are open to the public. In fact, I just did an entire course on API Documentation Best Practices and how it relates to security, which I highly recommend you all check out.  Anyways, we discussed how organizations face various challenges in managing and securing APIs, such as API sprawl and a need for more visibility about their APIs. Here are a few quick wins to get you on the right track to proper API security. Most importantly, ensure you have proactive API security practices and address security concerns early in the development process. _____To subscribe to the podcast, visit https://stoplight.io/podcast --- API Intersection Podcast listeners are invited to sign up for Stoplight and save up to $650!
