What does it actually look like to securely connect AI agents to real enterprise apps?👀 In our latest demo, you’ll see our team turn Webex into an agent-ready system in minutes using our secure AI Gateway with no custom code and no shortcuts. This is what “agent-enabled” should look like: authenticated, scoped, and controlled from the start, not patched in later.

March was another full-throttle month for the Cequence team! 🎉 Here’s what went down: 🌐 Cequence was named Co-Chair of TM Forum’s AI-Native Blueprint initiative on Agentic Interaction Security, helping shape how secure, trusted agentic AI gets built at scale. 🏆 Cequence was named a winner in the 2026 SC Media Awards for Best API Security Solution. 📅 RSAC Conference 2026 had the Cequence team on the floor all week showing demos, discussing agentic AI, API security, and bot defense, and swapping ideas with security leaders on how to stop automated threats before they wreak havoc. 🏙️ Cequence celebrated being featured on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square as part of the 2025 Bay Area Fast 500, marking 652% growth and a jump from #307 to #128. ✍️ Shreyans Mehta broke down in Forbes Tech Council how autonomous agents are rewriting the rules of security and why teams need to defend APIs, connections, and agent behavior, not just users. 💡 Randolph Barr shared insights across The Wall Street Journal, Dark Reading, SecureWorld, and more, diving into AI-native browsers, cyberwarfare, VoIP risks, and how attackers exploit gaps in trust and access. 🍽️ We hosted executive dinners in New York and Plano with Shira Rubinoff✔, gathering CISOs and security leaders to talk AI risk, attacker behavior, and how to secure autonomous systems. 📝 Jeff Harrell and John Dasher kept readers hooked on our blog, covering everything from Agent Personas and AI guardrails to exposing seat spinning bots and how to stop them. March…you kept us on our toes, and we’re ready to keep the momentum rolling into April! 🚀 #CequenceSecurity #APISecurity #Cybersecurity #AgenticAI #AISecurity #BotManagement

📖CISO Randolph Barr sat down with TechNadu for its “CISO Decoded” series to unpack how attackers bypass traditional security controls entirely by abusing trusted access and replaying sessions. No red flags. No obvious intrusion. Just legitimate-looking traffic quietly chaining small gaps into massive exploits for weeks or months before anyone notices. Curious how they do it, and more importantly, how to stop them? Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gduZu2Kw #APISecurity #BotManagement #CISOs #APIProtection #CequenceSecurity

When cyberwarfare spills into the boardroom, every business leader needs to pay attention. Our CISO Randolph Barr was featured in the The Wall Street Journal weighing in on the Stryker cyberattack, and what it means for civilian businesses everywhere. Randolph's take? U.S. companies need to prepare not just for a direct hit, but for sophisticated campaigns that exploit the gaps between identity, access, and trust.

🏆 Cequence Security has been named a winner in the 2026 SC Media Awards for Best API Security Solution. APIs are where innovation happens — and where attackers focus. As organizations race ahead with cloud and AI, real-time API visibility and protection aren't optional anymore. This recognition reflects what our team delivers every day: helping organizations discover, monitor, and defend their APIs at scale. Thank you to our customers and partners who push us to keep raising the bar. More ahead. 🚀 #CequenceSecurity #APISecurity #Cybersecurity #AISecurity #AgenticAI #BotManagement https://lnkd.in/euhECQfC

AI agents are powerful. But right now, most of them have way too much access. ⛔ Jeff Harrell's latest blog introduces Agent Personas in the Cequence AI Gateway, a new security layer that gives organizations granular control over what AI agents can actually do, what data they can touch, what tools they can call, and how far their authority really reaches. Because passing authentication checks doesn't mean an agent won't go rogue. If the scope was never defined, anything is fair game. Agent Personas fix that.

We’ve got some exciting things lined up, so keep an eye out for demos, insights, and a few surprises along the way 👀 #RSAC2026 #CequenceSecurity #APISecurity #BotManagement #AISecurity #Cybersecurity

“There are no rules that AI-assisted growth has to follow. AI can add code, dependencies, and architectural choices faster than standard review and fix processes can handle.” Randolph Barr shared his perspective with SecureWorld Magazine on the latest open-source risk findings from Black Duck Software, and why governance models are struggling to keep pace. Curious what this means for security teams right now? Take a look 👀 https://lnkd.in/eXFii_HH #CequenceSecurity #Cybersecurity #OpenSource #AppSec #AISecurity

Protecting applications and data – even more relevant in this agentic era. Live from Times Square! 🗽 Seeing Cequence on the Nasdaq Tower as part of the 2025 Bay Area Fast 500 is a moment we're incredibly proud of, and one that reflects just how far we've come. API security isn't a background concern anymore. As AI agents, automation, and digital interactions multiply, protecting the APIs behind them has become one of the most urgent challenges in cybersecurity. This recognition tells us we're solving the right problems at the right time. 652% growth. A jump from #307 to #128 on the Deloitte Fast 500 in a single year. None of that happens without the customers who push us to build better, and a team that shows up to deliver every day. The best part? We're just getting started. #NASDAQ #DeloitteFast500 #APISecurity #BotManagement #AISecurity #CequenceSecurity
