The API Security Hype: Debunking What's Truly Relevant feat. Wib's Chuck Herrin

With Black Hat, the internationally recognized cybersecurity conference series happening this week, security best practices are the talk of the town. So, of course, we had to jump on the trend and invite well-known security expert Chuck Herrin on the podcast. 


Chuck is the CTO and board member of Wib, and he joined us to discuss his company's approach to API Security. Chuck primarily focuses on API penetration testing and adversarial emulation. Chuck's career started off as an attacker and morphed into becoming a builder and defender. 


As CTO at Wib, he focuses on bringing the second generation of API security to the market, and he shared with us his top tips for handling API security the right way and answered some of the questions we've all been wondering.
