The Haunted House of API'sThe Witch’s Brew: Stirring Up OWASP Vulnerabilities and API TestingToday, we are kicking off an amazing series for Cybersecurity Awareness month, entitled the Haunted House of API’s, sponsored by our friends at Traceable AI. In this series, we are building awareness around API’s, their security risks – and what you can do about it. Traceable AI is building One Platform to secure every API, so you can discover, protect, and test all your API's with contextual API security, enabling organizations to minimize risk and maximize the value API's bring to their customers.In today’s episode, we will be talking with Jayesh Ahire, an expert in API testing and OWASP, will guide us through the "brew" of common vulnerabilities that haunt API ecosystems, focusing on the OWASP Top 10 for APIs. He’ll share how organizations can use API security testing to spot and neutralize these vulnerabilities before they become major exploits. By emphasizing proactive security measures, Jayesh will offer insights into creating a strong API testing framework that keeps malicious actors at bay.Discussion questions:What are some of the most common vulnerabilities in APIs that align with the OWASP Top 10, and why are they so dangerous?Why is API security testing crucial for detecting these vulnerabilities early, and how does it differ from traditional security testing?Can you share an example of how an overlooked API vulnerability led to a significant security breach?How can organizations create an effective API testing framework that addresses these vulnerabilities?What tools or methods do you recommend for continuously testing APIs and ensuring they remain secure as they evolve?SponsorsTraceableLinkshttps://www.traceable.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayesh-ahire/https://owasp.org/Our Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORYSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hello, listeners. Today, we are kicking off an amazing series for Cybersecurity Awareness Month, aka Halloween, entitled The Haunted House of APIs, sponsored by our friends at Traceable AI. In this series, we are building awareness around APIs, their security risks, and what you can do about it.
Traceable AI is building one platform to secure every API so you can discover, protect, and test all your APIs with contextual security, enabling organizations to minimize risk and maximize the value APIs bring to their customers. Our episode for today is entitled The Witch's Brew, Stirring Up OWASP Vulnerabilities in API Testing.
We'll be talking with Jayesh Ahire, an expert in API testing and OWASP, who will guide us through the brew of common vulnerabilities that haunt API ecosystems. He'll share how organizations can use API security testing to spot and neutralize these vulnerabilities before they become major exploits.
By focusing on proactive security measures, Jayesh will offer insights into creating a strong API testing framework that keeps malicious actors at bay. Jayesh, thank you for being on the show today.
Thanks for having me.
Glad to be here. Really excited to jump into OWASP vulnerabilities and API testing, the witch's brew. Before we jump into that, though, tell me a little bit, and my audience, tell me and my audience a little bit about you.
Yeah, I'm Jaish. I run product management here at Traceable. Been here for almost five years now, playing to the API security world. Before this, I was running my own venture in machine learning, cloud ops, DevOps. I read a lot. Since last few years, I have been doing 100 books a year. It's been interesting going through the list and reading around a lot of different things.
that's one part other thing i also write poems in my mother tongue in english depending on the mood also published few books around it and so some technical ones i like to write as well i used to play guitar and piano but yeah reading writing poetry that's a jam for these days
That gives a picture of a well-rounded individual, and I appreciate you sharing all that. Let's dive into it then. So we're talking about OWASP vulnerabilities and API testing. Diving into the witch's brew, we're calling it. What are some of the most common vulnerabilities in APIs that align with the OWASP top 10? And tell me why they're so dangerous.
