Agentic AI and Shadow APIs: Why SecOps Needs Specialization Now
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.
They explore how traditional, static, business‑owned APIs differ from dynamically generated APIs created by AI agents, and why this shift introduces new risks in schema control, authorization, and exposure. The conversation highlights the need for specialized visibility, governance, and protection strategies to prevent AI‑driven APIs from becoming hidden, vulnerable attack surfaces.
Watch the complete A10 Networks discussion on AI and API security to go deeper into:
- Why APIs are the language of AI
- How agentic AI changes the API threat model
- What specialized controls do you need to protect critical AI‑driven services
