In this LightTalk series, A10's Gary Wang talks about all things agentic AIs, MPCs, and APIs. He explains how they are tied together, step by step, using an analogy of planning a trip to Mount Everest. He highlights the workflow's weaknesses and how API protection and AI firewalls can be key to securing this process.

How do AI guardrails protect infrastructure from the unsafe and unpredictable territory of LLM risks? An AI firewall or guardrail device sits between your applications and large language models to keep the data sent and received from LLMs safe, compliant, and high-quality. Its design is to inspect natural-language traffic and protect your infrastructure against LMM vulnerabilities, including prompt injection, jailbreak attacks, data poisoning, system prompt leakage, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, using advanced, proprietary reasoning models.

The Asymmetric Threat: Why AI API Traffic is Hard to Predict As AI becomes more integrated into business operations, the way data moves through APIs is changing. In this clip from the A10 Networks webinar, "APIs are the Language of AI: Protecting Them is Critical," experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto break down the concept of data asymmetry in AI.

AI vs. Legacy Systems: Why Your Old Documentation Isn’t Safe In this A10 Networks discussion, "APIs are the Language of AI: Protecting Them is Critical," security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto tackle one of the most overlooked threats in modern IT: the "specter in the shadow." For years, many organizations relied on "security through obscurity"—the idea that if a system is old or undocumented, it's safe from attackers. However, AI has changed the rules. These systems can now decipher legacy documentation and communicate with obscure systems faster than a human ever could.

How Agentic AI Creates Shadow APIs: Security Risks Explained As businesses move from static applications to Agentic AI, the security landscape is shifting beneath our feet. In this clip from the A10 Networks webinar, "APIs are the Language of AI: Protecting Them is Critical," experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto discuss a new frontier in cybersecurity: AI that builds its own APIs.

Protecting the Language of AI: Why API Security is No Longer Optional As AI continues to reshape the digital landscape, APIs have become the "language" of innovation—but they've also become a massive target for attackers. In this clip from the A10 Networks webinar, "APIs are the Language of AI: Protecting Them is Critical," security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto discuss the complexities of modern API security.

Asymmetric Data: The New Challenge for API Security In this A10 Networks video, "APIs are the Language of AI: Protecting Them is Critical," security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto discuss the unique challenges of securing AI-driven data exchanges. Unlike traditional API interactions—where a request for a video clearly results in a video—AI interactions are defined by a "phenomenal" level of asymmetry. A tiny text request can trigger a massive, unpredictable response, making traditional security prediction models nearly obsolete.

Shadow APIs and Obscurity In this clip from the A10 Networks discussion, "APIs are the Language of AI Protecting them is Critical," security experts Carlo Alpuerto and Jamison Utter focus on how the rise of Agentic AI dramatically increases the risk posed by older, internal, and often-forgotten systems.

Agentic AI and Shadow APIs: Why SecOps Needs Specialization Now APIs are rapidly becoming the core “language” of AI, and when agentic AI can generate its own APIs, the security stakes rise significantly. In this clip from the A10 Networks discussion, “APIs are the Language of AI – Protecting Them is Critical,” A10 security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto unpack why specialized skills and tools are now essential for modern security operations teams.

Security at Scale: Why Specialization Matters More Than Ever In this clip from the A10 Networks discussion “APIs Are the Language of AI — Protecting Them Is Critical,” A10 security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto break down why specialization is becoming essential in modern security operations. They explain how rapidly evolving threats, AI-driven scale, and expanding API ecosystems are reshaping how teams must organize, collaborate, and defend critical infrastructure.
