Enable Business Agility Through The Lens of API Security

Today's API landscape is a labyrinth of multi-cloud, multi-gateway, and event-driven architectures, rapidly expanded by AI, LLM and MCP adoption—each presenting new attack vectors. While security is often seen as a necessary cost, this session reframes API security as a critical enabler of business innovation and agility, not a punitive tax. Discover how robust API security practices enabled by Kong's modern tooling can accelerate, rather than impede, your digital transformation.

We’ll show how Kong Konnect, as a unified platform, helps platform and security teams shift security left during API design, and enforce it at runtime through scalable governance, policy-driven request inspection, and continuous posture monitoring.

What you’ll learn:

• How to embed security early in the API lifecycle via automation and policy templates
• How to enforce governance at runtime without slowing down innovation
• How to secure AI-powered APIs, handle multi-cloud complexity, and prepare for evolving threats
• Real-world practices from platform teams driving secure agility at scale
• Whether you're a security engineer, platform architect, or API product owner—this session will equip you with a modern playbook for building trust without slowing velocity.
