No AI Without APIs: The 2026 Guide to Modern API Hacking
About the Security Event
APIs have become essential infrastructure connecting modern systems, especially as AI applications interact with external services. This webinar explores how APIs enable AI to operate beyond isolated systems while introducing new security risks. Dr Katie Paxton-Fear examines why APIs present unique vulnerabilities and how attackers take advantage of weaknesses such as broken object level authorization, excessive data exposure, workflow manipulation, and agent overreach.
The session focuses on API hacking as a distinct security discipline in the AI era. Attendees will gain insight into the types of vulnerabilities attackers commonly target, how AI driven workflows can increase the impact of API abuse, and practical approaches for testing and securing APIs in modern environments.
