#S03EP01 Taking Charge of Your APIs: Proactive API Security | Buchi Reddy B

What does Proactive API Security Testing encompass and what all you need to enhance your API Security Posture? We discuss all this with our expert guest Buchi Reddy.

Guest: Buchi Reddy B, Founder & CEO of Levo.ai

Proactive API security testing refers to an approach where security testing activities are conducted preemptively to identify and address potential security vulnerabilities in APIs before they can be exploited by malicious actors. This proactive approach involves systematically assessing the security posture of APIs through various techniques and methodologies, even before they are deployed or exposed to production environments.

By proactively testing for various attack scenarios, organizations can identify and remediate security vulnerabilities in their APIs before they are exploited by attackers, thus enhancing the overall security posture of their systems and protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access or manipulation. 

Guest Intro: 
After graduating with an engineering degree in India, Buchi began his career in a renowned hedge fund and then immigrated to the US to work in Silicon Valley startups.

Since then, he has worked in 4+ Silicon Valley startups, most being seed stage. While working in one such cybersecurity startup, he encountered fundamental inefficiencies in the cybersecurity space. Inefficiencies in the development, integration and testing of API systems in enterprise applications that culminate in data breaches and PR nightmares.

To tackle these problems, he founded Levo.ai, a cybersecurity startup. After 1.5 years of rigorous development, Levo is now being deployed in the environments of industry leaders, pioneering a proactive era for application security.
