Application and API Security

What this episode covers

Applications—and the APIs that power them—are today’s front door to everything from banking and healthcare to shopping and streaming. This episode maps the risk landscape: why well-known flaws like SQL injection persist, how APIs have become the new perimeter, and where lapses in authentication, authorization, and data exposure turn small mistakes into massive breaches. We break down the OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, and mobile risks in plain English, then connect them to real-world failures in session management, crypto, XSS, and CSRF. You’ll see why scale and speed magnify impact—and why security must be designed, not bolted on.Next, we turn practice into playbook. Learn how to embed security with SSDLC, threat modeling, SAST/DAST/IAST/RASP, and disciplined API design backed by gateways, rate limits, and visibility. We cover SBOMs, signatures, reproducible builds, and secure CI/CD to harden the software supply chain—plus the cultural side: DevSecOps habits, effective triage across huge app portfolios, bug bounties, and penetration testing that finds what scanners miss. If you want innovation without sacrificing trust, this episode shows how to ship fast and safe—developed by BareMetalCyber.com.
