Mexico's mobile industry joins forces to simplify the development of applications and digital services through GSMA Open Gateway
Altán Redes, América Móvil, AT&T Mexico, and Telefónica Mexico announced the local rollout of the initiative and its potential for new business and cross-industry partnerships.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At GSMA M360 LATAM today, Altán Redes, América Móvil, AT&T Mexico, and Telefónica Mexico announced the launch of GSMA Open Gateway in the country. This global initiative led by the GSMA enables mobile operators to open their networks to drive innovation and collaboration across the digital ecosystem.
GSMA Open Gateway is a standard through which mobile operators provide developers access to a range of network functions used to create applications and services. By bringing together operators from around the world, the initiative facilitates the design of digital products that can function seamlessly across all devices, regardless of country or operator. This is achieved through unique access points, known as Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), which serve as gateways to information about network capabilities.
These APIs available through the CAMARA repository, an open-source project by GSMA and the Linux Foundation, which developers can access to integrate them directly into their applications. GSMA Open Gateway simplifies and accelerates developer innovation while helping create a smoother and more secure experience.
The first phase of GSMA Open Gateway has focused on APIs aimed at digital security. In line with this trend, the three APIs presented in Mexico are:
By providing key real-time information, these APIs help detect and prevent fraud in payments and financial transactions. For example, they can identify suspicious changes to a customer's mobile line just before a significant money transfer, offering greater security for the user.
Since its launch at MWC Barcelona 2023, over 73 mobile operator groups, representing 284 mobile networks and almost 80% of mobile connections globally, have joined the initiative, alongside 43 channel partners. In Latin America, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru have already introduced their first portfolio of APIs, with new markets set to join in 2025.

The Flexus LLM solution provides three capabilities: Dify HA edition, local knowledge base construction, and scenario-specific application development, facilitating small and medium-sized enterprises to develop AI applications in one stop. Intelligent data management: DataArts, Huawei Cloud's data governance pipeline, has been fully upgraded to serve as an AI-oriented, knowledge-centric data foundation. GaussDB, the distributed cloud database, outperforms the industry benchmark twice with its transparent multi-write technology across multiple nodes. Its high availability slashes impact on service with fast fault recovery. All-scenario cloud deployment: Huawei Cloud Stack provides a hybrid cloud for large AI models, allowing enterprises to build their own models in one stop. CloudDC, the solution for migrating data centers to the cloud, provides deterministic operations, cloud data center, and full-stack AI for different needs. The event gave a vivid demonstration of how AI unlocks possibilities in lives and production, where a humanoid robot completed complex tasks in collaboration with a human wearing an intelligent bionic hand. Cloud and AI technologies not only boost production efficiency but also bring a positive impact on human life, natural environment, and sustainable development. Aka Dai, Director of Huawei Cloud Marketing, illustrated Huawei's "Cloud for Good" initiative with the company's success stories in accelerating Thailand's digital journey. For example, the paperless solution jointly developed by Huawei Cloud and Codium is expected to reduce paper consumption by 18 to 25 million pages annually for over 200 government departments and 300 enterprises, equivalent to saving 2,000 to 3,000 trees and reducing carbon emissions by 30 to 50 tons. Now, Huawei Cloud is strengthening local partnerships in nature conservation, smart agriculture, inclusive finance, energy conservation, emission reduction, and talent cultivation, all for supercharging Thailand's digital transformation. At the summit, Huawei Cloud and Chulalongkorn University jointly launched the "Cloud and AI Pioneer Initiative", which aims to cultivate 30,000 talented people in the cloud and AI fields through diversified measures such as developing cloud and AI courses, organizing developer competitions, and implementing developer programs. By the end of 2025, Huawei Cloud is projected to cultivate more than 20,000 cloud and AI developers in Thailand, an effort for building a thriving local talent ecosystem.

HCLSoftware Launches HCL AppScan API Security
A comprehensive API Security solution designed to help organizations effectively manage their API assets while minimizing risk. NOIDA, India, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HCLSoftware, a global leader in enterprise software solutions, announced today the launch of HCL AppScan API Security, in partnership with Salt Security. This comprehensive API security program enables organizations to effectively manage all their API assets and ensure they continue to deliver business value without introducing increased levels of risk. HCL AppScan API Security is designed to reduce security blind spots with an expert-trained, AI-infused discovery platform that finds and inventories all API assets, ensures corporate API standards in runtime and development, and integrates seamlessly with dynamic analysis to pinpoint and fix vulnerabilities. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are rapidly transforming the digital landscape, with APIs now accounting for well over 50 percent of all web traffic. APIs facilitate seamless communication between applications and are now being relied upon to drive cloud services, mobile apps, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. But all this traffic has, at the same time, made APIs a leading attack vector that can be exploited by bad actors, and organizations are now facing a whole new set of security challenges. "The growing dependence on APIs has made robust API security a boardroom-level concern for our customers, all of whom are looking to improve their security posture and safeguard their digital ecosystems," said Rajesh Iyer, Executive Vice President, HCLSoftware. 2023 saw a significant increase over previous years in both the total number of API attacks, as well as the percentage of data breaches associated with API vulnerabilities. And the trend is continuing. In the recent 2024 State of API Security report from Salt Security, 37% of the organizations surveyed reported having experienced an API-related security incident – twice that of the previous year. Just in the first six months of 2024, various news agencies have reported large-scale API-related attacks across numerous industries including social media and file sharing platforms, technology companies, and e-commerce sites, to name a few, leading to compromised data for millions of users. APIs have become so ubiquitous that many companies don't even know how many they are using. The number for medium and larger organizations can easily be in the hundreds. APIs now play multiple roles in every industry, most evidently in functionality such as online shopping, media delivery, payment gateways, workflow automation, microservices, software development – the list goes on. This means that the first step to securing APIs is gathering a full and accurate inventory of what is being used. "One of the key capabilities of HCL AppScan API Security is its ability to continuously discover and record an organization's entire API inventory." said Colin Bell, CTO for HCL AppScan. "This allows security teams to gain insights into their overall security posture." The rising trend in API attacks led the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) to create The OWASP API Security Top 10 – a list of the most critical security risks specifically related to APIs. The list was compiled to help organizations understand and mitigate the risks associated with API vulnerabilities. These include key areas that organizations should focus on when securing their APIs such as Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), Excessive Data Exposure, and Security Misconfiguration, just to name a few. According to the 2024 State of API Security report from Salt Security, 80% of attack attempts leverage one or more of OWASP API Top 10 methods, but only about 58% of respondents surveyed focus their security efforts around this list. "With the rise in API security incidents and regulatory oversight, organizations need to maintain continuous compliance across their API ecosystems," stated Michael Nicosia, COO and Co-founder at Salt Security. "By combining HCL AppScan's powerful scanning features with Salt Security's real-time governance and visibility of attack surfaces, including our discovery of undocumented and shadow APIs, we deliver unified insights and deeper visibility across their entire API landscape. This enables organizations to proactively identify risks and uphold compliance with essential standards such as PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA throughout the API lifecycle." HCL AppScan API Security ensures 100 percent coverage of the OWASP API Security Top 10 list and provides organizations with numerous capabilities for more robust API security including: For more information about HCL AppScan API Security, please visit: About HCLSoftware HCLSoftware is a global leader in software innovation and the software division of HCLTech.
