Topic: Small Mistakes, Big Consequences: How Tiny Oversights in API Security Can Lead to Massive Breaches

We’ll explore how minor oversights in API security, like GraphQL introspection enabled, can open the door to significant vulnerabilities. Using a real-life case study from a logistics company, Confidence will demonstrate how these small mistakes were exploited to uncover deep security flaws, leading to potentially devastating consequences. Attendees will learn how to identify and prevent these common errors, ensuring that seemingly minor details don’t lead to major breaches.
