Cequence, a pioneer in application security, has announced the launch of the Cequence AI Gateway. The new solution is designed to help enterprises harness the productivity of agentic AI while maintaining control and security.
According to Cequence, the AI Gateway bridges the gap between AI agents and enterprise applications. It enables instant connectivity with necessary guardrails, allowing organizations to scale AI use safely.
Many enterprises have lacked tools to implement agentic AI securely and efficiently. Security leaders are concerned about risks, as the pace of AI integration often outstrips compliance frameworks like the EU AI Act and Anthropic's ASL. CIOs are also wary of high opportunity costs due to the need for developer upskilling.
Cequence AI Gateway offers a solution by providing: Instant AI-agent connectivity to APIs and applications using standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Real-time policy enforcement to prevent abuse and protect data
The company explained that the AI Gateway integrates with the Cequence Unified API Protection (UAP) platform. This ensures open access for AI agents while maintaining enterprise-grade security, governance, and visibility.
Ameya Talwalkar, CEO and co-founder of Cequence, stated that enterprises are rapidly adopting agentic AI, often without adequate security. The AI Gateway, combined with UAP, enables secure and seamless integration.
The AI Gateway simplifies API access by converting any API into an MCP-compatible endpoint. It requires no coding and removes the need to update solutions when new protocol versions are released. Additionally, it supports OAuth 2.0 IdP for identity-based access and includes real-time traffic monitoring and audit logging.
Cequence emphasized the enterprise-readiness of its solution, noting its ability to integrate with existing infrastructure, support pre-production and production modes, and ensure continuous monitoring.
The platform is already trusted by major organizations to protect over 10 billion API interactions daily. With the AI Gateway, Cequence aims to stop AI-driven attacks and support new AI-driven business models.
Skyfire CEO Amir Sarhangi called the solution critical infrastructure for agentic AI, praising its ability to offer secure, scalable access to enterprise APIs.
Early adopters have reported rapid implementation success. One enterprise customer shared that the solution enabled a stalled project to become operational within 48 hours, significantly improving customer interactions.
Shreyans Mehta, CTO and co-founder of Cequence, said the launch is a natural evolution of their API protection strategy. He added that enabling agentic AI responsibly requires deep understanding of API security, which Cequence is uniquely positioned to deliver.
