LiveCast: The Role Of Identity In API Security HD

At the Nordic APIs Platform Summit, both Tyk and Curity will host workshops that dive into the nuts and bolts of managing identity in API security. Get a taste for what’s to come in this LiveCast, as we feature lightning sessions that overview various microservice security strategies. We’ll compare different modes for handling identity, digging into how OAuth and OpenID Connect can be utilized. Speaker #1: David Garvey, APAC Technical Director, Tyk Choosing the Right Authentication Mechanisms for Your Microservices With so many authentication methods out there to choose from, how do you know which is the best one for your microservices project? David Garvey, APAC Technical Director - Tyk, is on hand to help, with a common sense look at authentication whether you’re working in a highly regulated industry or using open source solutions. From traditional access tokens through to OIDC for APIs running across multiple data centers, he’ll recommend methods that are pragmatic, innovative, and don’t leave you tearing your hair out. Speaker #2: Travis Spencer, CEO, Curity Digging Further Into OAuth and OpenID Connect What is OAuth? How can it be paired with OpenID Connect to aid the API lifecycle? In his lightning presentation, Curity CEO Travis Spencer will define the unique token exchanges that undercut the world’s most powerful API security measures. He’ll compare certain OAuth flows, and describe how to leverage OpenID Connect for impeccable identity control.
