Insights for secure API usage in conjunction with security automation and orchestration

Presented at BSidesDC 2019, Oct. 27, 2019, 1:30 p.m. (50 minutes).

Organizations are expanding the use of automation and orchestration in their security operations. An indication of this is the sharp rise in the adoption of Security Orchestration Automation and Response platforms. The security of these platforms is a key concern, and in particular the security of API keys used by both the SOAR platform and Security Operations Center personnel. The exposure of APIs from security tools is crucial to permitting automation and orchestration, however it is also important to secure the usage of these capabilities. This presentation highlights methods for securing API usage and ways to remediate compromised API keys.
