Hacking APIs Conference New York

Where APIs break, and real security gets built

14 May 2026 • 360 Madison Ave, New York

New York runs on APIs, from global banking to high-frequency trading. That makes it a prime target for attackers and a hotspot for innovation. HAC NYC brings hackers, security engineers, and enterprise defenders together for deep dives into real threats, live demos, and tactics that hold up under pressure.

Stop listening, start doing. Test real tools and defenses on real systems.

Unfiltered war stories

Hear how breaches happened and what actually stopped them—straight from the people who lived it.

Practical, not theoretical

Get tactics and frameworks you can use immediately.

Community that builds and breaks

Join hackers, defenders, and engineers who care about one thing: making APIs stronger

What past HAC builders and breakers say

The sessions provided valuable insights into how APIs are driving innovation and supporting digital transformation across industries. It was also a great to connect with others working in this space and exchange ideas. Looking forward to applying some of these learnings in my work.
