APIs dominate the web, accounting for the majority of all internet traffic. And more AI means more APIs, because they act as an important mechanism to move data into and out of AI applications, AI agents, and large language models (LLMs). So how can you make sure all of these APIs are secure? In this session, we’ll take you through OWASP’s top 10 API and LLM security risks, and show you how to mitigate these risks using Google Cloud’s security portfolio, including Apigee, Model Armor, Cloud Armor, Google Security Operations, and Security Command Center.

This panel explores the potential of cloud technologies for operational technology (OT) and the critical need for proactive cybersecurity measures.

And we’ll go beyond theory with a live product demo that showcases migration tools, and a code assessment demo powered by Gemini that demonstrates how you can understand and modernize legacy code.

JavaScript gets a lot of flak for not being strongly typed. But if you’re running JavaScript in production today, you don’t need to wait for runtime errors to catch problems. TypeScript has taken JavaScript from a loosely typed language, where a variable can change from a string to a number without warning, and made it strongly typed. Now Zod and Effect are here to tame even the wildest unknown parameters from your users. We’ll demonstrate using these tools in an application and we’ll deploy that application to Google Cloud.
