DeveloperWeek 2025

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two of the most important developments in tech of the last 10 years. While AI has grabbed the majority of headlines lately, APIs are the unsung heroes, the “connective tissue” that ensures seamless integration across our digital lives. But how will the more recent emergence of AI affect API security, and how do APIs affect the security of AI? 
In this talk, we’ll explore these two hot topics that make our online worlds work. AI can be helpful to API security by allowing security teams to automate certain processes or make testing more efficient, but it can also be used to help malicious actors automate their attacks.
