Why API Security Is the Foundation of Cloud-Native and AI Innovation

Cloud-native applications rely on APIs to function—and with the integration of AI, this activity is growing exponentially. AI adoption is reshaping how applications interact with data, creating a new and rapidly expanding layer of API risk. Because every AI model query or workflow call triggers API activity that traditional tools miss, securing only the frontend is no longer enough.

Download the white paper, API Security in the Cloud-Native & AI Era, to learn how to protect APIs at scale—across every workload, every environment, and every phase of the application lifecycle.

Secure Your Innovation from Code to Cloud

Explore how to modernize your approach to API security with a strategy that prevents breaches early and stops attacks in real time. In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • Why traditional WAFs fail against the speed of microservices and the burst traffic generated by AI applications.
  • The risks of "Shadow" and "Zombie" APIs and why continuous discovery across gateways and workloads is essential to eliminate blind spots.
  • How to unify Code, Cloud, and Runtime protection to detect vulnerabilities before deployment and block OWASP Top 10 threats instantly.

Protect the APIs Powering Your AI

APIs are the connective tissue of modern applications—and one of the fastest-growing attack surfaces. The API Security in the Cloud-Native and AI Era whitepaper breaks down how to correlate workload context with API activity to stop threats that traffic inspection alone will miss.

Download the guide now to build a stronger API security strategy—backed by automation, context, and coverage.
