Cequence unveils AI Gateway for enterprise-scale agentic AI

Cequence has launched AI Gateway to connect agentic AI. The new product enables enterprises to safely expose applications to AI agents, offering instant, secure API access with no-code integration and real-time oversight.

Cequence Security has launched its new AI Gateway, a product designed to help enterprises unlock the productivity benefits of agentic AI while ensuring governance, compliance, and operational security.

Unveiled this week and set for general availability in August 2025, the AI Gateway enables organisations to securely expose internal and third-party applications to AI agents, leveraging real-time policy enforcement and enterprise authentication standards. The platform converts any API into a Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible endpoint, eliminating the need for manual development and reducing integration timelines from months to hours.

“The race to adopt agentic AI in enterprises is well underway, but the foundation to support it is immature,” said Ameya Talwalkar, CEO and co-founder of Cequence Security. “With the combination of our Unified API Protection platform and the new AI Gateway, Cequence delivers both sides of the equation: open, seamless access for AI agents, and the enterprise-grade security, governance, and visibility that leaders need.”

The product addresses concerns raised by CISOs and CIOs over rapid AI adoption outpacing security protocols, including those defined in the EU AI Act and Anthropic’s ASL. The AI Gateway includes end-to-end identity-based access using OAuth 2.0, real-time visibility with audit logging, and compatibility with enterprise IdPs — features not currently standard across most solutions.

Shreyans Mehta, CTO and co-founder at Cequence, noted: “We’ve engineered the AI Gateway to transform any application or API into an MCP-compatible endpoint, with real-time enforcement policies baked in. It’s not just about enabling agentic AI; it’s about enabling it responsibly at scale.”

Skyfire CEO Amir Sarhangi added that the product is “critical infrastructure” for AI agents to transact securely and in compliance with identity and payment protocols. Early adopters also reported rapid deployment benefits, reducing development lag and boosting customer support automation.

The AI Gateway extends Cequence’s Unified API Protection (UAP) platform, already used by leading enterprises to protect over 10 billion daily API interactions. According to Cequence, this combined capability helps prevent agent-driven abuse, fraud, and security threats, while positioning the company as a core enabler of secure AI automation.
