[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (API): No-Code, No-Training, Just Connect: How Adaptive Agents Redefine AI Automation with APIs

Wednesday September 10, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am PDT

VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

Saldin Samuel, Haiva, Co-Founder

Building AI agents has traditionally required model training, infrastructure setup, and complex orchestration. What if AI agents could just connect to your APIs and start working? This session introduces Adaptive Agents, a new class of no-code, real-time agents that plug into your existing API infrastructure—instantly automating workflows without moving data. Whether you're building SaaS tools, B2B platforms, or AI-first products, this talk will show how to use Adaptive Agents to build scalable, multilingual, and intelligent experiences in minutes.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (API): Revolutionizing API Testing and Mocking with TestContainers Modules

Wednesday September 10, 2025 10:00am - 10:50am PDT

VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

Hugo Guerrero, Kong, Developer Advocate

As they say, "testing is the art of doubt!" However, in the age of microservices and APIs, being well-prepared to banish uncertainty is critical. Even before entering into the testing world, configuring the full testing environment might be intimidating.

Testcontainers have established themselves as a go-to solution for database, middleware, and cloud services integration testing, but what about your regular business services and APIs? Enter Microcks, an open-source cloud-native tool (CNCF Sandbox project), ready to work with Testcontainers, and providing a solution for mocking and testing APIs without extensive coding.

This collaboration simplifies the process of configuring complex settings, allowing for the adoption of a strong Shift-Left approach to integration testing. The beauty of it is that this methodology is universally applicable, catering to a wide range of APIs, whether REST, gRPC, GraphQL, or Async, regardless of your technological stack, be it Java, Go, Node, or others.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (API): API Security for the AI Era: Detecting and Preventing Adversarial Manipulation

Wednesday September 10, 2025 11:00am - 11:50am PDT

VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

David vonThenen, NetApp, AI/ML Engineer

In a digital landscape dominated by APIs and AI, security threats from adversarial manipulation have become critical risks. This session explores the intersection of APIs, AI security, and adversarial attacks. We'll dissect how adversaries manipulate APIs feeding data to machine learning models—by injecting noise, crafting misleading inputs, and exploiting data obfuscation techniques—to compromise model integrity and security. Attendees will gain insights into real-world adversarial scenarios, learn practical defensive techniques, and understand the implications for privacy, model fairness, and data reliability.

The session will provide practical examples and live demonstrations showcasing how adversarial strategies can exploit API vulnerabilities to undermine AI models. We'll examine defensive frameworks and best practices for securing APIs against adversarial attacks, ensuring data integrity, maintaining privacy compliance, and reinforcing ethical AI usage. By the end, attendees will be equipped with strategies for hardening their AI-driven APIs, proactively identifying vulnerabilities, and deploying robust security measures to mitigate adversarial threats.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (API): Fight or Flight: Your API Strategy for Agentic AI and MCP in 2025

Wednesday September 10, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm PDT

VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

Brenton House, IBM, Principal Cybersecurity

In the fast-moving world of AI and APIs, Model Context Protocol (MCP) is set to redefine how we integrate with AI systems. This is especially true for agentic AI, which relies on autonomous interactions with APIs to make decisions and take actions.

But with great power comes great responsibility. APIs, long the unsung hero behind AI's rise, now face unprecedented demands for security, scalability, and adaptability. Don't miss this special session with Brenton House where he presents a practical API survival guide for 2025, packed with MCP updates and actionable strategies to keep your API and AI initiatives ahead of the curve.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (API): API Underworld: Red Team Hacking Secrets

Wednesday September 10, 2025 1:00pm - 1:50pm PDT

VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

Parth Shukla, Cequence Security, Security Analyst

This comprehensive workshop is designed to provide participants with a deep understanding of API security, its challenges, and best practices to mitigate risks. Spanning six engaging sessions, the program begins with an introduction to API security and real-world breaches, highlighting the critical importance of securing APIs.

Participants will explore reconnaissance techniques, including using tools like Shodan and Google Dorking, to identify API endpoints. The workshop delves into common API vulnerabilities, such as SQL Injection and XSS, complemented by practical hands-on scanning with Burp Suite.

Additionally, the sessions cover OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) techniques with tools like Maltego, theHarvester, and Wayback, empowering attendees to gather intelligence on API targets. The program culminates with guided vulnerability exploitation exercises and a collaborative group activity to identify and exploit API flaws.

Concluding with a wrap-up session and an open Q&A, this workshop equips participants with the knowledge and skills to secure APIs effectively while fostering a hands-on learning environment
