GraphQL has been steadily gaining popularity for modern API development, celebrated for its unparalleled flexibility and developer-friendly design. However, this same flexibility introduces significant complexity, particularly when it comes to securing GraphQL APIs at an enterprise scale. As adoption grows, organizations often find themselves grappling with unique challenges: siloed-APIs, excessive data exposure, complex authorization models, query depth attacks, and performance bottlenecks.

In this session, we'll delve into the key Identity Security pitfalls organizations encounter when deploying GraphQL APIs, focusing on the authorization challenges facing implementers, and explore actionable strategies to address them. GraphQL requires Graph schemas, we’ll detail how to best model GraphQL APis to enable authorization by design. Attendees will also gain insights into best practices for API federation, authentication, rate limiting, and query optimization, along with real-world examples of successful implementations. Whether you're a security professional, architect, or developer, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to confidently secure your GraphQL APIs and navigate the complexities of your organization.
