Securing the Next Era: Why Agentic AI Demands a New Approach to API Security
I’ve spent my career building solutions to protect the API fabric that powers modern businesses. I founded Salt because I saw that traditional security tools such as WAFs, gateways, and CDNs weren’t designed to see or secure APIs. That gap led to breaches, blind spots, and billions in risk. Today, we’re facing a new wave…

But that ‘partial Zero Trust’ approach won’t work. Modern attackers identify less-secure environments and systems, enter through them, and then move laterally toward high value assets. True Zero Trust demands that every…
