API World + AI DevWorld

Join Richard Sand, CEO of IDF Connect, for a wide-ranging talk about the innovative, API-centered approach to web security his company implemented when creating SSO/Rest, a universal, Cloud-enabled REST solution for single sign-on (SSO), authentication, and access management.

Topics to be addressed include:
• The central value of using security APIs: the ability to declare security policies centrally, rather than code them locally.
• The crucial need for simplicity when implementing security APIs.
• The slim plugin approach: o A single library that lets you simply “declare-and-go”, using your build management system of choice (e.g. Maven, Gradle, etc.).  o Turnkey integration to platforms, containers, and servers for turnkey, Cloud-enabled SSO and perimeter enforcement. o Extreme flexibility with respect to CI/CD methodologies, due to the ability to include the plugin as a direct dependency in the application without requiring any code changes at all - the very existence of the dependency automatically activates protection 
• The singular architectural flexibility that the SSO/Rest model enables: web access management as a service, and a virtual access control perimeter that can encompass resources on premises or in the Cloud.
