- Gary Wang explains why API security is a step more dangerous than WAF (Web Application Firewall) security.

How to Fix the Challenges with Web App Firewalls A10 security experts Gary Wang and Jamison Utter explore how to uncover “Dynamic Profiles” of threat actors through advanced behavioral analysis. By leveraging regression models and historical attack patterns, they demonstrate how to detect and anticipate evolving attacker behaviors—an essential capability for staying ahead in today’s rapidly shifting threat landscape.

How to Fix the Challenges with Web App Firewalls A10 expert Jamison Utter discusses with Gary Wang why API security is a challenge to manage, as these APIs are headless and cannot be accessed through a login. There is no authentication mechanism, such as completing a CAPTCHA. APIs are also vulnerable to bots, which complicates matters. Watch the full video to learn more about multi-layered approaches, threat intelligence, behavioral analysis, and protection against modern threats like bots and APIs.

Does WAF protect against API threats? A10's Jamison Utter discusses whether WAF (Web Application Firewalls) can protect API (Application Programming Interface). Since the role of a WAF is to stop run-time actions, it's not designed for modern API security challenges, as it has no context for what API is doing.

How to Fix the Challenges with Web App Firewalls Is your WAF enough? A10 experts Jamison Utter and Gary Wang delve into advanced security strategies that surpass traditional web application firewalls (WAFs). In today’s ever-evolving threat landscape, organizations face numerous security challenges that necessitate a shift from conventional WAFs to next-generation solutions.

Most organizations have no idea how many APIs are running in their environment – and that's a significant security problem. In this essential discussion, A10's security experts Akhilesh Dhawan and Jamison Utter tackle one of cybersecurity's biggest blind spots: API compliance and protection. Unlike traditional applications, APIs operate without standardized functionality requirements, creating a regulatory nightmare. This lack of standards renders APIs nearly impossible to govern effectively, making API discovery a mission-critical security function. If you can't see it, you can't protect it.

A10 Networks' security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto delve into comprehensive DDoS protection. In this segment, Carlo Alpuerto explains how attackers exploit Layer 7 DDoS methods, such as slow POST attacks and other slow-rate techniques (potentially referring to "slow patches" or similar application-layer attacks), to disrupt services. Whether you're a security professional, network administrator, or business leader concerned about cyber resilience, this expert conversation provides actionable insights to strengthen your organization's DDoS protection posture.

APIs: The Invisible Backbone of Digital Transformation In today's app-driven economy, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) have become the foundation for innovation and connectivity. A10's security experts Carlo Alpuerto and Jamison Utter explore the explosive growth in API development and adoption across industries. These powerful interfaces now power everything from financial services and retail experiences to transportation systems, IoT devices, autonomous vehicles, and smart city infrastructure.

A10 recently acquired ThreatX, a fully managed cloud-native application and API protection solution. Hear from A10's Jamison Utter and the co-founder and CPO of ThreatX, Bret Settle, about how this brings expanded capabilities to the A10's security portfolio and gives customers the flexibility to have protection wherever they want it, even in a hybrid environment.

A10 security experts Jamison Utter and Akhilesh Dhawan discuss how AI creates opportunities for those possessing the necessary skillsets, and businesses can open new revenue streams and build competitive differentiation while strengthening security.
