Gravitee launches AI Gateway to secure enterprise AI agents

By AI, Created 11:34 AM UTC, May 20, 2026, /AGP/ – Gravitee has introduced an AI Gateway to help enterprises govern and secure autonomous AI agents as adoption accelerates. The launch comes alongside new research showing nearly half of enterprise agents operate without oversight and 88% of firms have seen or suspected an agent-related security or privacy incident in the past year.

Why it matters: - Enterprise AI agent deployment is scaling faster than oversight, creating a security and data privacy gap. - Gravitee is positioning its AI Gateway as infrastructure for companies that need to control what agents can access, do, and disclose. - The launch targets the growing need to apply enterprise controls to autonomous systems the same way companies already manage APIs and event streams.

What happened: - Gravitee announced the launch of its AI Gateway on April 9, 2026, in Denver. - The new product is designed to govern, secure, and observe the two paths every autonomous agent uses: the path to the large language model and the path to external tools. - Gravitee said the new AI Gateway capabilities are available immediately. - The company pointed readers to more information on governing the agent economy.

The details: - Gravitee’s State of AI Agent Security 2026 report found that large firms in the US and UK have deployed nearly 3 million AI agents. - The report says 47% of those agents operate without active monitoring or security. - The report says 88% of firms reported experiencing or suspecting an AI agent-related security or data privacy incident in the last 12 months. - Rory Blundell, Gravitee’s co-founder and CEO, said businesses have moved from asking whether they can build an agent to asking whether they can control what the agent sees and does. - Blundell said half of the corporate AI workforce is accessing data, discovering tools and executing tasks without oversight. - Gravitee said the launch reinforces its position as a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader and includes significant upgrades to its core platform.

Between the lines: - The research suggests enterprise AI adoption is outpacing governance, which raises the stakes for vendors focused on policy, access control and observability. - Gravitee is broadening its API-management story into AI-agent management, which could help it sell into the same infrastructure and security budgets. - The framing of agents as a “digital workforce” signals a shift from experimental AI use cases to operational deployment with compliance implications.

What’s next: - Enterprises adopting AI agents will likely need centralized controls for model access, tool use and auditability. - Gravitee will push its AI Gateway as part of a unified platform for API, event and AI agent management. - The company is likely to use the new report to drive awareness around agent security and to support further platform adoption.

The bottom line: - Gravitee is betting that the next phase of enterprise AI will be judged less by what agents can do and more by how tightly companies can govern them.
