If you were given the chance to become the superhero of the 21st century what would you choose? a Super Power or a Super API?
You might still argue on whether having an API is better than being able to fly. But unlike in the 1930s, our lives are heavily dependent on frameworks that support things that we use on a daily basis. Starting from your smartphone or tablet to tubes, trains and buses to systems you use at your workplace and those who you interact with during work all rely on...

There’s no best way to distribute data within and between applications. If you ask an architect for advice you’ll get questions in return: LAN or WAN? What size blocks of data? How many updates per second? Latency requirements? Need guaranteed delivery? This session will describe popular data movement design patterns, discuss deployment considerations that impact manageability and high availability, and illustrate the impact of such decisions with real world examples.

VP Innovation, Axway
Recently there have been a number of highly-publicised API security vulnerabilities, including those of Moonpig in the UK and Verizon in the US. Because APIs underpin mobile apps, they are a tempting target for attack, leading to data and privacy breaches. However, mechanisms do exist to secure APIs, such as certificates, OAuth, and API Keys. In this session, we learn how APIs can be secured in a systematic way.
