Atomic Talk Title: Jumpstart Security & Penetration testing APIs

We are living an API economy. Right from your mobile apps to point of sales terminals or payments to connected cars, API makes it easier for the end-user to seamlessly communicate and transact. Unfortunately, data breaches are the side effect of an API driven economy. Data being the new oil, hackers find ways to steal user’s data and sell it. Are we testing the APIs enough to ensure that the safety and security of the user’s data is not compromised? The objective of this talk is to help a test engineer jumpstart their API security testing journey with fundamental areas to focus on.
