Resurface Labs

In this episode, we discuss the growing importance of APIs, as we shift from human centric internet to a hybrid internet in which the majority of interactions are system-to-system, or machine-to-machine. We also explore the challenge of defending APIs from increasingly sophisticated criminal organisations that use internal agents and best in class software, rather than brute-force to exploit vulnerabilities.

Our guest today is Rob Dickinson, CEO of Resurface Labs. Resurface Labs is a database where all APIs can be easily and responsibly monitored to power data science, customer support, auditing and compliance, and production debugging.

In this episode, we talked with Pat Clawson, chairman and CEO of Resurface Labs. Resurface Labs is a data-driven API security service that uses continuous API scanning to detect and respond to the attack in real-time. 

We talked about the growing importance of APIs in modern software architecture and the challenges companies face in managing hundreds or thousands of APIs. We also explored the unique challenges in API security, such as broken object-level authorization, API parameter tampering, session hacking, and other exploit types. 

Key Questions:

●      What are the problems to solve in terms of API security service?

●      Why are existing security systems, like Firewalls and API gateway, insufficient to defend the API network?

●      What does the unknown zone leading to the attack surface indicate, as shown in the graph? (Please insert the link of the graph mentioned on the podcast)

●      What are the focus areas in API security for modern software services?
