API security is a key component of modern web application security. But due to their common use, and their access to sensitive data, they are quickly becoming a primary target for attackers.

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Editor Matt Harris talks to Karl Triebes, SVP Product and GM AppSec, as the pair explore:

• APIs and their importance in the modern economy
• Data breaches and how to stop them
• Managing identity and access management for APIs
