Cequence Security, a leader in API and application security, has officially launched the Cequence AI Gateway, a cutting-edge platform designed to enable enterprises to seamlessly and securely connect agentic AI to internal systems, SaaS platforms, and APIs. The AI Gateway acts as a bridge between emerging AI agents and enterprise-grade applications, offering instant integration without the usual complexity or risk.
Agentic AI Meets Enterprise Security: A Critical Gap Filled
As organizations race to adopt agentic AI to boost productivity and streamline operations, they often lack the infrastructure to do so safely, efficiently, or at scale. Traditional approaches require complex coding, specialized skills, and often bypass necessary safeguards outlined in policies such as the EU AI Act and Anthropic’s ASL.
The Cequence AI Gateway fills this critical void, empowering CIOs and CISOs with a no-code, security-first platform that enables immediate, controlled AI integration with enterprise applications—without compromising on data protection or compliance.
Plug-and-Play AI Access with Enterprise Guardrails
At the core of this innovation is Cequence’s unique ability to convert any API into a Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible endpoint. This eliminates the need for custom development, manual integration, or version upgrades. AI agents can now connect directly to both internal and external applications in minutes, with robust real-time policy enforcement to prevent misuse, data leakage, or unauthorized access.
Key Benefits of Cequence AI Gateway:
- No-Code Integration: Instantly expose enterprise or SaaS APIs to AI agents with no development required.
- Protocol Agnostic: Automatically compatible with evolving AI agent standards like MCP.
- Built-In Compliance: Real-time monitoring and governance aligned with major AI safety frameworks.
Authentication and Authorization Built for the Enterprise
The AI Gateway supports OAuth 2.0 and seamless integration with enterprise identity providers (IdPs) to ensure AI agents have appropriate, identity-based access control. Unlike other solutions, Cequence offers end-to-end authentication and authorization—crucial for preventing unauthorized interactions with sensitive data.
Unmatched Visibility Into AI Interactions
The platform includes real-time traffic monitoring and full audit logging, giving security teams detailed insights into:
- AI agent behavior
- API usage patterns
-
Application access logs
This level of visibility ensures organizations can enforce governance while scaling AI adoption responsibly.
Enterprise-Ready, Scalable, and Cloud-Native
Built with enterprise needs in mind, the AI Gateway integrates natively into existing infrastructures without disruption. It features distinct pre-production and production modes, continuous environment monitoring, and offers SaaS deployment flexibility, making it ideal for large-scale rollouts.
Seamless Integration with Cequence Unified API Protection
The new AI Gateway complements Cequence’s existing Unified API Protection (UAP) platform, which already secures over 10 billion API interactions daily for some of the world’s largest organizations. Together, these solutions form a comprehensive framework for AI-driven innovation without compromising security.
“Agentic AI is already being connected to mission-critical systems without proper oversight,” said Ameya Talwalkar, CEO and co-founder of Cequence Security. “With AI Gateway, we combine open AI access with enterprise-grade governance, enabling safe innovation at scale.”
Real-World Adoption: From Months to Hours
Early adopters of the AI Gateway have reported transformative outcomes. One enterprise customer noted:
“We were stuck trying to launch a complex, AI-powered customer experience that we thought would take months. With Cequence AI Gateway, we were operational in less than 48 hours—no extra code, no added risk.”
This rapid deployment translated directly into business impact, enabling natural language queries and real-time customer interactions that significantly reduced support costs.
The Infrastructure for AI-Powered Business Models
According to Amir Sarhangi, CEO and co-founder of Skyfire, creators of the KYAPay protocol:
“Cequence doesn’t just secure APIs—it enables new business models. The AI Gateway is critical infrastructure that supports identity verification, real-time micropayments, and compliant AI transactions. Cequence is a trusted partner that protects innovation in real time.”
Secure AI at the API Layer: Where It Matters Most
“Building this platform required deep, real-world understanding of how APIs are used and abused at scale,” said Shreyans Mehta, CTO and co-founder at Cequence Security. “AI Gateway is not just an integration tool—it’s an enforcement layer that enables responsible AI automation across the enterprise.”
Cequence’s foundational strength in API security positions it as a category leader in enabling agentic AI responsibly—offering unmatched expertise where security, performance, and scale intersect.
