Growth of Web Services & APIs and the Risks in M&A - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Just like most software assets contain open source, modern software applications commonly link to external web services via APIs. By using web services, developers may be inadvertently signing their companies up to terms of service or using a web service without a suitable agreement. And using these services can expose a company to security, data privacy, and operational risks that could disrupt or severely affect the business. As part of the tech M&A due diligence process, you should be aware of these web services-related risks so that you can make informed decisions about deal valuation and remediation. Join Tony Decicco, shareholder at GTC Law Group and Affiliates, and Phil Odence, GM of Black Duck Audits, as they discuss the types of risk associated with web services and how they can affect an M&A transaction. They’ll cover: • Typical terms of service and common pitfalls • The legal compliance, data privacy, security, and business risks that come with web services • Real-world examples of these risks • How a buyer can get a better understanding of these risks in a target’s codebase or a seller can prepare for diligence to avoid risks in this area Don’t miss this informative webinar.
