Live API Attack Simulation Webinar
In the upcoming webinar, Karthik Krishnamoorthy, CTO and Vivek Gopalan, VP of Products at Indusface demonstrate how APIs could be hacked. The session will cover: an exploit of OWASP API Top 10 vulnerability, a brute force account take-over (ATO) attack on API, a DDoS attack on an API, how a WAAP could bolster security over an API gateway
Highlights Of The Upcoming Events
Going forward, Broadcom will prioritize making it easier for business clients to establish and update their private and hybrid cloud infrastructures.
Broadcom is going to make investments in VMware Cloud Foundation, which is the software stack that supports private and hybrid clouds.Â
The platform’s objective is to relieve IT staff of infrastructure management and integration responsibilities.
This will make it possible for them to provide IT services that, by reducing security risks, improving speed to market, and bringing in more money from new business services, assist in attaining business goals.
The wide range of services provided by VMware includes the following:
Application networking and security
Since threat actors are spreading laterally and taking advantage of internal systems to obtain controls, defending the perimeter is no longer sufficient.
Consumers desire several lines of security against ransomware and malware, as well as lateral attacks from unauthorized access.
VMware’s distributed security and full visibility enable users to implement zero-trust and defense-in-depth security tactics.
The goal is to provide VMware virtualized infrastructure with lateral protection that is easier to deploy and more flexible. Techniques for emerging AI and GenAI are used to counter the changing threat scenario.
Modern applications
