Discussion Topics

What We Will Cover

01

AI-Generated Code, Invisible API Risk

Where tools like Claude Code and Cursor are creating authorization flaws that traditional testing misses entirely.

02

Why Point-in-Time Security Is Breaking

APIs change daily. Periodic reviews create gaps by design. What does continuous validation actually look like?

03

API Sprawl and Visibility

Thousands of APIs across teams and environments. How are security leaders maintaining meaningful oversight?

04

Governance at Scale

When no single team owns the attack surface, how do CISOs define accountability?
