StackHawk and Shift-Left API Security with Scott Gerlach

0
0

APIs are a fundamental part of modern software systems and enable communication between services, applications, and third-party integrations. However, their openness and accessibility also make them a prime target for security threats, and this makes APIs a growing focus on software teams.



StackHawk is a company that scans and monitors source code to obtain the full scope of an organization’s APIs and applications, and runs tests to identify vulnerabilities and address them pre-production.


Scott Gerlach is the Co-Founder and Chief Security Officer at StackHawk and previously worked at SendGrid and GoDaddy. He has an extensive background running security operations and engineering and, in this episode, he joins the show to talk about the challenges around API security and leading-edge strategies to address them.


Full Disclosure: This episode is sponsored by 10kMedia (StackHawk).





Gregor Vand is a security-focused technologist, and is the founder and CTO of Mailpass. Previously, Gregor was a CTO across cybersecurity, cyber insurance and general software engineering companies. He has been based in Asia Pacific for almost a decade and can be found via his profile at vand.hk.
