Securing APIs with Authentication and Authorisation

In API Craft Singapore’s 18 September Meetup, you will learn:
• Why privacy regulations require you to secure your API
• When to apply authentication and authorisation to your API
• How to use OAuth2.0 to gain customer consent to share their data

From the Cambridge Analytica scandal to the recent SingHealth cyber attack, data security continues to be a hot topic around the world. APIs are in no way immune to these concerns - if anything, an understanding of the importance of API authentication and authorisation is vital to ensuring your API and API users are safe and secure.

For the latest API Craft Singapore meet-up, David Garvey, APAC Technical Director at Tyk, will explain why API management and identity management are ideal partners as part of a robust API programme.

After giving us a brief overview of authentication approaches for different use-cases, he’ll do a deep-dive walkthrough of how Tyk's API Gateway, Management Platform, and Dev Portal work with one such provider: Okta.
