Grab it Explore an innovative approach to cloud API security in this 34-minute conference talk by Julian Stephen and Shriti Priya from IBM. Delve into the design and implementation of an application-aware Layer-7 security framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to combat complex threats against cloud API workloads. Learn how this framework enables security administrators to easily define and enforce cross-application policies using Open Policy Agent (OPA) and custom web assembly plugins within Envoy proxies. Discover how LLMs can identify common API flows, making it simpler to create policies that are sensitive to application semantics while working across multiple applications. Gain insights into preventing data breaches, unauthorized access, and other forms of abuse in cloud-based API deployments.
