A10 Networks

Dec 23, 2025

As AI continues to reshape the digital landscape, APIs have become the "language" of innovation—but they've also become a massive target for attackers. In this clip from the A10 Networks webinar, "APIs are the Language of AI: Protecting Them is Critical," security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto discuss the complexities of modern API security.

The conversation covers the challenges posed by "muddled" vendor terminology and the unique vulnerabilities introduced by the rapid, automated generation of APIs.

Key topics discussed include:
▫️ API Identification: Why protecting what you don't know exists is a challenge.
▫️ Attack Surface Management: How automation exacerbates security risks.
▫️ Authentication & Authorization: The foundational pillars of API defense.
▫️ The "Outside-In" Perspective: How shifting your viewpoint changes your security posture.

Whether you're a security professional, developer, or IT leader, understanding these layers of protection is vital for securing the future of AI-driven applications.
