APIs have become the backbone of modern digital interactions, connecting everything from morning coffee purchases to streaming services. But the rise of API-centric architectures has drastically expanded the attack surface -- over 90 percent of web-based cyberattacks are now targeting API endpoints, exploiting new vulnerabilities often overlooked by security teams – and rendered traditional security measures are no longer sufficient. Join F5 Field CTO Chuck Herrin and WWT's Head of Global Cyber Strategy Traci Byrne as they talk about the urgent need for more dynamic and comprehensive defense strategies to prevent breaches. Chuck and Traci detail how security teams can "shift left" to better address API risks and vulnerabilities and outline practical steps security leaders can take to bolster their defenses.

Public sector organizations are discovering that the legacy applications they've relied upon to support their missions and operations cannot deliver the agility and efficiency required today. However, as they look to embrace modern apps and microservices, they need to ensure that they are not creating unintentional security gaps. During this Public Sector Virtual Roundtable, World Wide Technology (WWT) and F5 will discuss some of the challenges public sector organizations have faced and share best practices for securely implementing modern applications and microservices. Additionally, they will highlight real-world examples of how organizations across public sector successfully shifted from monolithic applications.

In this F5 | WWT DISA & Mission Partner Tech Session we will focus on three different DoD use cases – Data Center/Enclave Consolidation, Modernizing App Deployments with NGINX and Shape Security.
