API Virtual Attack Lab

Attack. Analyze. Automate. Step into the mind of an API hacker to bulletproof your posture.

Step into the shoes of an API attacker in this interactive, hands-on workshop led by Akamai Systems Engineers. This session offers a unique opportunity to experience how cybercriminals exploit vulnerable APIs for monetary gain and data exfiltration, giving you the critical offensive perspective needed to build stronger defenses. The focus is on tackling high-impact risks like Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) and transforming basic visibility into proactive, automated defense.

Using the Akamai API Security platform, you will analyze live API traffic, uncover hidden vulnerabilities, and simulate real-world attack scenarios. Beyond defense theory, you will gain practical experience tagging sensitive data, building tailored security policies, and automating remediation workflows across discovery, posture management, and runtime protection.

Designed specifically for security practitioners, AppSec leaders, and architects, this session delivers actionable skills to elevate your organization's API security posture.
