The 2026 edition of API World revolves around “APIs in the Age of AI”—and that’s no coincidence. As companies integrate AI agents into their processes, AI API governance has become one of the most urgent technical challenges.
If you want the full context of our participation, you can read the complete announcement here.
Why does AI API governance matter?
When AI agents start consuming APIs autonomously, traditional access control, auditing, and rate limiting models are no longer enough. An agent can generate thousands of calls in seconds, access sensitive data without direct human supervision, or chain actions across systems without leaving a clear trail of who authorized what. This calls for additional visibility and control layers designed specifically for agentic traffic, preventing the speed of AI from turning into a business risk.
The 3 Pillars of AI API Governance at API World 2026
- Full visibility into traffic between agents and APIs, so you know exactly what is being consumed and by whom at all times.
- Granular control through specialized gateways, the exact role played by our MCP Gateway and Agent Gateway solutions, which we already explained in detail on the blog.
- Security policies that adapt in real time to agent behavior, rather than relying solely on pre-defined static rules. These three pillars underpin any serious AI API governance strategy, and they are also the central focus of what we’ll be showcasing at our booth.
Here's what you'll find at our booth
If you’re going to be in Santa Clara, in the API World 2026 stop by our booth and we’ll show you how we apply these three pillars to real-world projects, featuring concrete case studies of clients who are already managing AI traffic on their APIs securely.
And if you can’t make it, reach out to us here and we’ll connect before or after the event.
