APIs Are Critical Infrastructure. Why Aren’t We Treating Them That Way?

APIs now sit squarely in the middle of revenue, customer data, and core digital operations. They power digital services, power AI systems, and are critical to the day to day operations of modern business. But while companies rely on APIs more than ever, governance, monitoring, and regulatory alignment have not kept up.

‍

In this session, we take an in-depth look at what it truly means to treat APIs as critical infrastructure. Using industry data and real-world examples, we explore the gap between how much businesses rely on APIs and how well they are actually protected. And we talk about why that gap introduces operational and regulatory risks.

What you'll walk away with:

• A framework to assess whether your APIs are ready support business continuity at the same level as your other critical infrastructure components
• Insight into governance and monitoring gaps that could cost you money or risk regulatory consequences
• Straightforward criteria for putting the right visibility and runtime monitoring in place
