In this episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat, Matthias Reinwarth sits down with cybersecurity CTO & analyst Alexei Balaganski to explore the dramatic evolution of API management and security. They unpack: Why APIs are now the backbone of AI agents and how MCP (Model Context Protocol) is driving a new decentralized ecosystem. The explosion of shadow APIs & hidden interfaces from your printer to your coffee machine and why they pose serious risks. How edge computing & WebAssembly are decentralizing everything, making old API gateway models obsolete. The critical need for API posture management, identity & access controls for non-human identities, and full lifecycle security even before you write a line of code. Learn why API security isn’t just a tech problem, it’s the next big business risk, how the market is consolidating, and what’s coming in the new Leadership Compass on API Management & Security.
