  2. The explosion of shadow APIs & hidden interfaces from your printer to your coffee machine and why they pose serious risks.

  3. How edge computing & WebAssembly are decentralizing everything, making old API gateway models obsolete.

  4. The critical need for API posture management, identity & access controls for non-human identities, and full lifecycle security even before you write a line of code.
