Breakpoint Security Podcast
Breakpoint-'Exploring the depths of Defensive Security'. The defensive side of Security is a world in itself with teams achieving amazing feats that involve excellent engineering practices and smart optimisation for scale. This is not talked about enough in the industry. Join me in the br3akp0int podcast as we reflect on the methods and approaches these smart teams use to solve practical challenges in information security and innovate their way into the future. Who is this meant for? : This podcast is for anyone in InfoSec willing to know more about advances in security techniques. This includes security researchers or professionals, product owners, compliance or cloud, AI/ML, threat intel, SecOps automation, Security Leaders, development teams, pentesters and security practitioners. A bit about me: I am a technical security enthusiast and have been dabbling my hands at both offensive and defensive security. I am passionate about growing security communities and have spoken and trained at various security conferences.

#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.
