Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. We’ve worked together in the past at previous companies, it’s great to catch up again. For those out there that don’t know you, tell us a little bit about your background, and how you got involved in API security.

Topic 2 - We keep hearing about APIs and API security but in a roundabout way. We hear on tech news that data has been leaked, customer accounts and info got out. There have been many high profile, well known instances. What often isn’t reported is the way in which the breaches happen. More times than not it is API’s and improper security, correct?

Topic 3 - What are the most common problems you see in organizations? What problems do folks bring you in to solve? Why isn’t a WAF (web application firewall) enough?

Topic 4 - Security, no matter the type, can be a tough sell sometimes. It’s hard to do an ROI on something that hasn’t happened for instance. What are your thoughts on this?

Topic 5 - As a followup, who is the audience that has the budget? CISO’s don’t typically come from a developer background, true?

Topic 6 - What are the typical steps on a journey towards securing APIs. Where do most folks start (assuming nothing, maybe a WAF at best) and how far does it go. Identification, automated remediation, etc.

Topic 7 - It seems every industry is being impacted in some way by AI/ML. How do you see this playing a role in the future of API security?
