Artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, from predictive analytics and content generation to fully autonomous agents capable of making decisions and executing tasks on their own. This shift is fueled by the increasing adoption of agentic AI systems, which rely heavily on APIs to retrieve data, act and integrate with other systems in real time. As this trend accelerates, it introduces significant security implications, particularly for APIs.

A recent survey identified AI-enhanced attacks as the most frequently cited emerging risk among enterprises. At the same time, the generative AI market is projected to skyrocket, from $2.8 billion in 2023 to $39.6 billion by 2028.
