What is API security for AI agents?

It's locking down endpoints against smart bots that infer hidden APIs, chain legit calls for exploits like BOLA, and scale attacks humans can't match.

Why do AI agents break traditional API protections?

They craft perfect, non-suspicious requests abusing business logic – think discount hacks or data pivots – evading WAFs and gateways.

How does Thales plan to fix AI agent API risks?

Ruthless discovery of all APIs, agent traffic tagging, and protocol-aware governance to control what agents touch.
