The Darkside of GraphQL

Aug 11, 2023 By Datadog In Datadog

GraphQL is a query language for APIs that provides a powerful and efficient way to query and manipulate data. As powerful and versatile as GraphQL is, its downside is that it can be vulnerable to certain security threats. In this presentation, we will discuss the security vulnerabilities associated with GraphQL, from the basics to more advanced threats, and how to best protect against them. After this presentation, attendees will have a better understanding of security vulnerabilities in GraphQL, as well as an understanding of the steps needed to protect against them.
