This page contains the resources for the talk titled 'OpenAPI as a security tool, not just documentation'.
Abstract
OpenAPI specifications are more than just documentation—they can be a powerful foundation for improving your application's security.
This talk explores how to effectively use OpenAPI in both code-first and spec-first workflows. We’ll discuss how well-crafted specs help uncover security issues, guide audits, and power security tools for testing, automated attacks, and even runtime protection. You’ll walk away with practical insights into turning your API specs into a security asset, not just a developer convenience.
