The Dark Corners of APIs: Uncovering Unknown APIs Lurking in the Shadows
Our episode today is titled The Dark Corners of APIs: Uncovering Unknown API’s lurking in the shadows, where we speak with Katie Paxton-Fear. APIs are the gateway to your digital infrastructure, but hidden deep in the recesses of your system are unknown APIs – shadow, rogue, zombie, and undocumented API’s. Each of these present a unique threat to your organization and can be exploited by hackers. Katie is an API hacker and researcher, and today, she will take us on a journey through the API graveyards, where hidden APIs lurk, waiting to be exploited – sharing real life examples of how these API’s have been attacked, and best practices for ensuring they don’t become your companies next security nightmare.
Discussion questions:

Why do these APIs often go unnoticed, and how do they become security risks?

How can organizations begin to uncover these hidden APIs, and what tools or strategies are effective in doing so?
In your experience, what are some common mistakes organizations make that lead to these unknown APIs being created or overlooked?
