How Agentic AI Threatens Your API Security

This title was summarized by AI from the post below.

Why Agentic AI Breaks Your Existing API Security? Agentic AI has changed the rules of application security. AI agents can now generate and execute thousands of complex API call sequences in milliseconds, far beyond what any human pen tester or traditional attacker could attempt. Existing defenses like rate limiting, WAFs, OWASP API Top-10 controls, and static API security policies were never designed for this scale or speed. They fail to detect when an agent, operating within “valid” workflows, starts abusing business logic to extract data, escalate privileges, or trigger unintended transactions. Business Logic Security is no longer optional but it’s essential to defend against AI-driven misuse and autonomous exploit chains. At AppSentinels, we help enterprises stay ahead of this new reality i.e. protecting applications not just from technical vulnerabilities, but also from intelligent, agent-speed business logic abuse in production. Our platform proactively identifies such vulnerabilities during shift-left testing by automatically generating thousands of stateful, multi-API, user-journey-specific test cases, executing them with both positive and negative parameters to uncover flaws before they can be exploited in production. #AppSentinels #BusinessLogicSecurity #APISecurity #AgenticAI #AISecurity #GenAI #Cybersecurity #DevSecOps

Absolutely spot on! Agentic AI is redefining the threat landscape -traditional controls simply can’t keep pace with autonomous agents exploring every possible API path. Business logic security must evolve from reactive detection to proactive prevention, and AppSentinels is really leading that shift towards finding the exploits in production.
