Do APIs Pose
a Security Risk?
PIs are the new gold rush. And just like the California
gold rush 166 years ago, there will be winners and
losers. Fortunately, unlike that earlier push, luck isnt a
big part of the equation. Instead, CIOs who implement
a comprehensive strategy, encompassing the business,
technology and cultural requirements of the enterprise,
can successfully mine APIs to increase profitability, create
new business models and create closer, more productive
interactions with customers and partners.
We understand the opportunities and challenges of
adopting an API-driven business model first hand.
When the three of us began our journey as the IT
leadership team for the state of Arizona, we immediately
recognized the massive challenges we faced. The state of

balance between running the business and changing it.

In this context, the CIO represents a central agent in
initiating, maintaining and sustaining change. Automation
is great, but firms must invest in the tools to unlock
the enterprise data for the business to leverage it. The
enterprises that can successfully tap into the data and use
it to change the way it provides services to customers will
win the battle. So where do you start leading this charge?
Stop acting like a traditional CIO

and experience tells us that the majority of CIOs are
