Modern API attacks target logic flaws within applications to exfiltrate data, take over accounts, escalate privileges, and cause other mayhem.

Andrew Jones Bio:
Andrew has spent the last 12 years as a Solutions Engineer at several successful cybersecurity startups. He currently lives in Northern Virginia, close to Washington, D.C., but originally hails from Texas. After graduating with a EE degree from UT Austin, he moved to the East Coast to work as a network engineer for a large Defense contractor, but quickly fell into a security operations role, cutting his teeth building Snort IDS sensors. Since then, he's touched a wide range of security specialties in his career, including network and host-based forensics, vulnerability scanning and pen-testing, malware analysis, Incident Response, and bot defense. Andrew enjoys attending security conferences in his off time, sipping on tasty bourbon, and voraciously consuming good books.
