Attendees Guest: Oz Avenstein Guest Title: Founder & CEO @ Avensec - Cloud & Application Security Topic: Securing API Services   Abstract The applicative infrastructure is becoming more and more complex due to different requirements, design patterns, and technologies. In many of these cases, one of those requirements is to connect other parties to systems, and in other cases, to connect systems to other parties. Nowadays, the most common connection method is to use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). In this episode we spoke with Oz Avenstein, co-author of the CSA Security Guidelines for Providing and Consuming APIs about the guidelines creation process and how organizations should secure access to API resources.
