Alex Babeanu's session will address the critical, yet often overlooked, topic of authorization in API and app development. Given that broken access control tops the list of security issues in web development, implementing robust authorization is imperative. This session will explain the fundamentals of externalized dynamic authorization and offer graph modelling tips to leverage knowledge graphs for enforcing effective access control using authorization models such as ReBAC, NGAC, and ABAC.
