Discussion Topics
What We Will Cover
AI-Generated Code, Invisible API Risk
Where tools like Claude Code and Cursor are creating authorization flaws that traditional testing misses entirely.
Why Point-in-Time Security Is Breaking
APIs change daily. Periodic reviews create gaps by design. What does continuous validation actually look like?
API Sprawl and Visibility
Thousands of APIs across teams and environments. How are security leaders maintaining meaningful oversight?
Governance at Scale
When no single team owns the attack surface, how do CISOs define accountability?
