Rohith Varanasi grew up in Jersey and had a chill childhood, playing videos games and sports from a young age. He wanted to learn how to build a video game, and upon googling it, decided he should build a website first. At that point.. he was hooked on coding. He got into jailbreaking the playstation and writing real code to mod games. Eventually, he got into hackathons and ended up building a web browser based on SMS called Cosmos - which went viral. Outside of tech, he is into paddle, loves going to the gym, and hanging with his girlfriend and their 1 year old cat.
Ro and his co-founder have been building a bunch of different consumer products. The latest product they built allows people to earn in game rewards by walking, and do so in a non-deterministic way. Under the hood, they are using generative AI to create endless outcomes, and optimal replay-ability.

Phantom Threats: The Ghosts Haunting Your API SecurityToday’s episode is titled Phantom Threats: The Ghosts Haunting Your API Security, with Adam Arellano. API security threats often go unnoticed, hiding like ghosts in your infrastructure. Bots, sophisticated fraud attempts, account takeovers and attackers disguising themselves within legit traffic… these all pose risk to your organization, and can bypass traditional security measures, wreaking havoc without detection – until it’s too late. Adam is a tech advisor, Global CISO at Traceable, and will guide listeners through the world of phantom threats haunting API security.
What are "phantom threats" in the context of API security, and how do they go undetected?Can you explain how advanced botnets and fraud attempts exploit APIs while blending into legitimate traffic?Do you have a real-world example of a phantom threat that caused significant damage to an organization?What makes detecting these phantom threats so challenging, and why do traditional security measures often fail?What are the best strategies or technologies organizations can adopt to detect and eliminate these hidden threats before they cause harm?Sponsors

The Haunted Web: Navigating API Sprawl and Creepy CrawlersToday’s episode is titled The Haunted Web: Navigating API Sprawl and Creepy Crawlers, with Traceable’s Chief Security Officer, Richard Bird. As organizations scale and evolve, so does the complexity of their APIs. API sprawl, the uncontrolled expansion of APIs, creates a tangled web where vulnerabilities linger in the shadows. These unseen APIs become “creepy crawlers” of your digital infrastructure, creeping through your systems and posing security risks. Richard will discuss how unmanaged and undocumented APIs contribute to blind spots in security, the risks they create for organizations and the best strategies for securing a sprawling ecosystem.
Discussion questions:
Can you explain what we mean by "unknown APIs" and the different types, like shadow, rogue, zombie, and undocumented?Why do these APIs often go unnoticed, and how do they become security risks?What makes these APIs such an attractive target for attackers, and can you share an example of how one has been exploited?How can organizations begin to uncover these hidden APIs, and what tools or strategies are effective in doing so?In your experience, what are some common mistakes organizations make that lead to these unknown APIs being created or overlooked?Sponsors

The Dark Corners of APIs: Uncovering Unknown APIs Lurking in the ShadowsOur episode today is titled The Dark Corners of APIs: Uncovering Unknown API’s lurking in the shadows, where we speak with Katie Paxton-Fear. APIs are the gateway to your digital infrastructure, but hidden deep in the recesses of your system are unknown APIs – shadow, rogue, zombie, and undocumented API’s. Each of these present a unique threat to your organization and can be exploited by hackers. Katie is an API hacker and researcher, and today, she will take us on a journey through the API graveyards, where hidden APIs lurk, waiting to be exploited – sharing real life examples of how these API’s have been attacked, and best practices for ensuring they don’t become your companies next security nightmare.

Sebastian Raffaele grew up in a small, working class family in Australia. He had a crazy life, growing up in social housing, having to find his way. He found inspiration from his family members, who always pushed him to follow his passions. He left high school early, and jumped straight away into the work force. In 2014 he was introduced to crypto, and got hooked. Outside of tech and finance, he has always been into the creative spaces, specifically music. He likes to spend time with his fiancé, likes trying new foods, and tries to surround himself with high quality people.
Sebastian realized that the manual processes for a trader are overwhelming, along with making it difficult to be consistent. And alongside this, he saw the cycle of manual traders returning the money they made to the market - sort of like "the house always wins" in casinos. He wanted to build something close the gap for these traders, and solve this problem.

Adam Pisk lives in Sydney, Australia, and just turned 45. He has 5 year old twins, and at the time of this recording, had just taken them on a trip to explore theme parks. He enjoys good wine, good steak, and good people. And the best place you can get a steak? In his backyard on his pit. Outside of this, as he puts it, he is unfortunately one of those people that really enjoys their work. IE, considers it a hobby.
Adam started his outsourcing journey in 2001, specifically in the manufacturing industry. He couldn't get the engineers he needed, and built an offshore engineering team. Once he got that working, he wondered what else he could outsource. Eventually, he offshored operations for a different company, and noticed all metrics improved. He then realized there is something to this.

Kevin Hurley grew up in a multi-kid house, which is where he got his competitive nature. He used to play 2 on 2 with his Dad and siblings at home. He went to school for electrical engineering, and funny enough, interviewed for a computer science job by accident, effectively stumbling into the trade. Outside of tech, he spends his free time with his fiancé, planning for the wedding, and visiting Manhattan beach for a good walk .
Kevin was part of the team that attempted to launch crypto at Facebook. Although that didn't work out, they realized that the backbone of the system needed to be built on something more common - and something that was lightning fast.
