Postman's Tara Wyman explains why API security must be built into the development life cycle - not bolted on - as AI agents expand the attack surface and organizations race to scale faster.
Application programming interfaces are no longer just back-end plumbing - they are core business infrastructure, and the stakes of leaving them ungoverned have never been higher. In this session, Tara Wyman, senior product marketing manager at Postman, makes the case for security built into the API life cycle by design, not bolted on at the end. From secret sprawl and hard-coded credentials to artificial intelligence agent access controls and API drift, Wyman walks through the risks that grow with scale - and how consolidating the API workflow into a single platform is the strategic foundation for a truly multilayered security model.
The session will explore:
- Why AI has transformed APIs from service-to-service connections into interfaces for intelligent agents;
- How secret sprawl, hard-coded credentials and policy drift emerge when security is fragmented across disparate tools
- Why consolidated platform governance is essential for maintaining visibility and control at scale.
