Mastering API Management in the Gen AI Era: Do This Now!
summary
Generative AI drives a surge of automated API traffic and new failure modes, with monitoring showing a 170% increase in abusive API traffic and 77% of orgs delaying rollouts after incidents. Recommend placing controls at the API Gateway (use Apigee), add WAF/load balancer, DLP and accuracy/brand checks, and use proxies as fast escape hatches. Prepare for well‑intentioned and malicious machine callers, deploy defense in depth, log/ML‑detect anomalies, and buy managed expertise if protecting APIs is not core business.
