2021 saw an enormous increase in security incidents, which made headlines around the world. Enterprises are more dependent on APIs than ever before and are now coming to the realisation that securing these will help protect their most precious assets. APIs are a primary attack vector, causing data breaches for enterprise web applications.
Filip Verloy, Technical Evangelist, Noname Security EMEA, comments: “Some opportunities are just too good to pass up! Joining Noname Security, the industry-leading API Security Platform, is one of them. What drew me to the company is the ubiquity of API-based integrations at enterprise customers and the very real need to secure these across their entire lifecycle. I’m passionate about incorporating the voice of the customer and our partners as we continue to create the most comprehensive API Security Platform.”
