The Haunted House of APIs - The Witch’s Brew with Jayesh Ahire

The Haunted House of API's ------------------------------ The Witch’s Brew: Stirring Up OWASP Vulnerabilities and API Testing Today, we are kicking off an amazing series for Cybersecurity Awareness month, entitled the Haunted House of API’s, sponsored by our friends at [Traceable AI] (https://www.traceable.ai/) . In this series, we are building awareness around API’s, their security risks – and what you can do about it. [Traceable AI] (https://www.traceable.ai/) is building One Platform to secure every API, so you can discover, protect, and test all your API's with contextual API security, enabling organizations to minimize risk and maximize the value API's bring to their customers. In today’s episode, we will be talking with [Jayesh Ahire] (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayesh-ahire/) , an expert in API testing and [OWASP] (https://owasp.org/) , will guide us through the "brew" of common vulnerabilities that haunt API ecosystems, focusing on the OWASP Top 10 for APIs. He’ll share how organizations can use API security testing to spot and neutralize these vulnerabilities before they become major exploits. By emphasizing proactive security measures, Jayesh will offer insights into creating a strong API testing framework that keeps malicious actors at bay. Discussion questions: 1--What are some of the most common vulnerabilities in APIs that align with the [OWASP] (https://owasp.org/) Top 10, and why are they so dangerous? 2--Why is API security testing crucial for detecting these vulnerabilities early, and how does it differ from traditional security testing? 3--Can you share an example of how an overlooked API vulnerability led to a significant security breach? 4--How can organizations create an effective API testing framework that addresses these vulnerabilities? 5--What tools or methods do you recommend for continuously testing APIs and ensuring they remain secure as they evolve?

S10 E5: Sebastian Raffaele, Minotaur Trading Systems

Sebastian Raffaele grew up in a small, working class family in Australia. He had a crazy life, growing up in social housing, having to find his way. He found inspiration from his family members, who always pushed him to follow his passions. He left high school early, and jumped straight away into the work force. In 2014 he was introduced to crypto, and got hooked. Outside of tech and finance, he has always been into the creative spaces, specifically music. He likes to spend time with his fiancé, likes trying new foods, and tries to surround himself with high quality people. Sebastian realized that the manual processes for a trader are overwhelming, along with making it difficult to be consistent. And alongside this, he saw the cycle of manual traders returning the money they made to the market - sort of like "the house always wins" in casinos. He wanted to build something close the gap for these traders, and solve this problem. This is the creation story of [Minotaur Trading Systems] (https://minotaurtradingsystems.com/) .

Outside of this, as he puts it, he is unfortunately one of those people that really enjoys their work. IE, considers it a hobby. Adam started his outsourcing journey in 2001, specifically in the manufacturing industry. He couldn't get the engineers he needed, and built an offshore engineering team. Once he got that working, he wondered what else he could outsource. Eventually, he offshored operations for a different company, and noticed all metrics improved.

Mark Porter has always been fascinated with puzzles, so tech just fit for him and a great journey for him. He got his first 4k computer in middle school, and then moved into doing programming for the Department of Education. His big learning from this was that you can use tech to do social good. He's married with 5 kids, and as he puts it, they put up with his deep tech obsession. Mark joined the board of MongoDB in 2019. What got him excited about the company was the world changing nature of the product. So much so, that he asked to step off the board to be CTO - and carry the banner to the developer community about the power of their doc based, distributed system performing DB transactions. This is Mark's story with [MongoDB] (https://www.mongodb.com/) .

Replay: Egil Østhus, Unleash

Egil Østhus is based out of Norway - which obviously means he loves skiing. But outside of this, he loves to run outdoors, through the woods and on the streets. He has not done a full marathon yet, but dreams of doing the New York marathon someday. He's a family man, married, with 2 boys - none of which like to run with him, but they all enjoy being active and hiking. In a past role, Egil's co-founder (and brother, FYI) was looking for a tool that would help him release code into the wild, in a rapid - yet safe - manner. He couldn't find anything to meet his high standards - so he built his own. When the open source version started to get a lot of attention, Egil joined his brother to bring the solution to the enterprise. This is the creation story of [Unleash] (https://www.getunleash.io/) .

S9 E34: Anish Dhar, Cortex

Anish Dhar grew up in the Bay Area, but now is located in New York. He felt lucky to be surrounded by technology, being in the Bay Area and having his Dad as a software engineer. His earliest exposure to tech was hacking his Wii - and at that point he was hooked. He eventually joined Uber and experienced many of the problems he is solving today. Outside of tech, he enjoys tennis and playing piano. He loves making music and attending shows to hear other artists, in particular EDM. While he was at Uber, Anish noticed that the company was a prime example of microservices gone wrong. Developers were going outside of standards building services, not documenting them properly. He realized that every company he talked to had the problem of service cataloguing, and he felt confident to apply to take the challenge on and apply to YC.

Outside of tech, he is a cyclist in a bike club, and enjoys spending time with his family. After speaking with a number of security officers at companies, Rick realized the enterprise situation with AI - most companies are stuck, trying to figure out how to enable their employees to use new tooling, while still maintaining the level of security and control they have over data. Rick was asked to join a founding team to solve this problem. This is the creation story of [WitnessAI] (https://witness.ai/) .
