Workshop on API Governance & Risk Management

APIs are software glue that is revolutionizing our digital worlds by helping enable the next industrial revolution driven by AI/ML and IoT. Implications of APIs are profound on organizations both positive (innovation, newer business models, competitive differentiation etc.) and negative (hidden attack vector, business continuity impact, enterprise risk etc.).
