Summary

As API use expands through microservices, AI agents, and developer coding assistants, organizations face growing risks from unknown endpoints, malformed requests, data exposure, and uncontrolled costs, with Fastly reporting AI traffic growth far outpacing human traffic in early 2026. Fastly API Security addresses these challenges through API Discovery, which automatically identifies and inventories production API traffic with business context, and API Enforcement, which validates requests at the network edge against uploaded JSON or YAML schemas and can log or block nonconforming traffic before it reaches origin systems. The platform supports granular inspection and policy controls by service, schema, operation, domain, path, method, and query parameter, while providing metrics and logging to identify unsecured APIs and understand client behavior. It is integrated with Fastly’s WAAP platform alongside next-generation WAF and bot management, while remaining usable with other security infrastructures.
