With unmonitored APIs and shadow AI deployments continuing to create critical security blind spots that leave corporate data exposed, Akamai announced an expanded technology collaboration with MuleSoft to help eliminate these risks. This comes as 87% of organizations reported an API-related security incident during 2025, according to survey responses in the 2026 Akamai API Security Impact Study.
As enterprises deploy Agentforce and other AI agents at scale, MuleSoft’s Agent Fabric governs the underlying agents, APIs, and MCP servers that make agentic workflows possible. This integration extends that governance with Akamai’s runtime security intelligence, closing the gap between security monitoring and operational governance.

The integration establishes a two-way data synchronization layer between the two platforms. MuleSoft Exchange automatically synchronizes API specifications and environment data with Akamai. Teams can verify live traffic against design blueprints and instantly identify drift, including undocumented or obsolete endpoints, explained the companies.
At the same time, Akamai continuously analyzes API activity from connected traffic sources and environments, feeding behavioral analytics and threat risk scores into MuleSoft’s unified control plane. Akamai reveals API traffic that would otherwise be hidden, giving organizations a broader view of their entire API estate while effectively closing the shadow API and MCP server blind spots that traditional, point-in-time API security tools don’t reach.
Agent Fabric provides the management, governance, and policy framework for APIs, MCP servers, agents, and AI interactions. Akamai API Security provides dedicated discovery, posture assessment, runtime analysis, and testing across the broader API estate. Teams can use the integrated capabilities to better understand what exists, what is governed, and where security action is needed.
The technology integration between Akamai API Security and Agent Fabric is currently available and already in use by more than 20 organizations. Akamai plans to introduce additional product updates in the second half of 2026, including native MuleSoft onboarding features and expanded runtime security for AI and MCP environments.
