# Tackling the Biggest API Security Challenges With Automation
Roey Eliyahu
CEO of Salt Security
APIs fuel innovation and are increasingly critical to digital transformation initiatives for organizations of all sizes. As API use has exploded, the quantity and exposure of sensitive data has also increased leading to attacks that have become more frequent and more complex. No longer can you depend on manual approaches and traditional security solutions to protect against the threats defined in the new OWASP API Security Top 10.
This session, we will explore how automation can help you:
- - Overcome the challenge of maintaining visibility to understand risk in changing API environments
- - Stop attacks and protect against the threats defined in the new OWASP API Security Top 10
- - Find the balance of rapid development and secure application delivery
