0%How Open policies in Omni Gateway secure Federated API Gateways in minutes. September 29, 2026 | 8 mins read San Francisco - In September, 2026, MuleSoft announced Governance for Federated API Gateways with a new Open policies capability that allows enterprise API and security teams to discover, apply, and enforce policies across multi-vendor gateways through Agent Fabric's Omni Gateway. Open policies eliminate the need for teams to navigate separate policy systems for each gateway vendor. The problem is real, and it compounds Most enterprises run more than one API gateway. MuleSoft manages the experience APIs, Kong handles one department. Apigee came with an acquisition. Azure APIM is locked in because the cloud team owns it. AWS arrived with the microservices migration. Each does its job, but they do not share a policy model that is consistent across gateways. So when security says "all finance APIs should accept traffic only from defined IPs," someone translates that requirement into Kong's traffic rules, Apigee's access control config, and Azure's inbound policy XML, separately, from scratch, in consoles most teams haven't opened in months. That's before verifying it applied correctly, and doing it again when something changes, and before finding the APIs that weren't in scope the first time. The result: a one-sentence security requirement becomes a month-long coordination project, struggling to maintain consistent security and governance. How Open Policy solves this problem Start by bringing your API assets into Agent Fabric using Scanners which automatically discovers and catalogs your API gateways within Agent Registry. API scanners not only bring the API metadata but also bring any existing policy metadata across your assets. Once your scanners for Azure, Apigee, or Kong are configured, API teams express a policy intent once, and Agent Fabric handles the rest. You choose a protection type from the policy library such as IP allowlist, JWT validation, rate limiting. You configure it once, select the APIs you want covered across vendors, and click apply. Agent Fabric auto-translates to the correct configuration for each gateway and applies it. Applying an IP Allowlist across 8 APIs on three different API gateways takes under two minutes, the manual path would have taken over a week. Open policies solve one of the most stubborn security problems in enterprise API management: applying consistent governance across multiple gateways without learning the policy system of each one. Two ways to govern, pick the one that fits your team * From the UI, you can configure Governance Strategies and apply policy across APIs deployed on other gateways with a simple guided flow. * From an agentic surface: Describe the intent in plain language in your AI IDE, "apply IP filtering to all APIs tagged finance, allow traffic from these two IPs only", and Ågent Fabric identifies every matching API across your federated gateways, finds the applicable protection, and applies it. (Example of headless experience below) Prompt: "Is there any governance to ensure open IP filtering for my finance APIs? Apply any available protection. IPs: 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2" | Identified 8 APIs tagged [finance] across Azure, Apigee, Kong | Mapped to required configurations | Applied across all APIs Discover now, enforce when ready If you are operating in regulated industries handling sensitive workloads, Agent Fabric provides the flexibility of choosing how to use gateway federation and open policies. You don't have to start with permissions allowing direct policy updates on API gateways. API Scanner offers a read-only visibility layer. With read-only permissions, scanners bring in all the applied policies from Apigee, Azure, Kong, and AWS into a single view. With this unified metadata across your vendors you can see what's enforced where and track your organization's security posture using governance strategies. Later on you can expand the scanner credentials to enable, disable, or delete vendor policies using Agent Fabric, without logging into each vendor's console. With this you get full visibility, and the ability to then enforce from one place. Track your governance continuously. Applying a policy is an action, governance is a posture. New APIs get deployed, teams make changes in vendor consoles, but with scanners these new changes surface automatically that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. Governance Controls let you define a consistent enforcement requirement. They generate alerts, mark the API non-conformant, and trigger an email notification. You don't have to check. It checks for you. Ready to unify your API security? Don't let multi-gateway complexity slow down your governance posture.

MuleSoft recognized as a Leader in The Forrester wavetm: API Management Software, Q3 2026. September 22, 2026 | 3 mins read Mulesoft is excited to announce that MuleSoft has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave(TM): API Management Software, Q3 2026, with the highest score in the Strategy category. Mulesoft believe this reflects its continued vision and innovation in API management and how Mulesoft see the category evolving into agentic AI management. This recognition comes at a pivotal moment for the category. API management is rapidly evolving to include AI management. Enterprises are no longer just governing APIs - they're governing LLM traffic, MCP servers, and autonomous agents, too. Forrester's guidance is clear: "An AI gateway alone does not meet those needs, so Forrester recommends a holistic solution over isolated AI gateways." That's exactly the challenge Omni Gateway was built to solve. It unifies and extends the same single layer of visibility, governance, and management enterprises already trust for their APIs to every agent, LLM, and MCP server, federated across multiple gateways.

Akamai and MuleSoft have expanded their integration to help organisations discover and govern APIs and MCP servers across distributed environments. The bidirectional integration connects Akamai's API security intelligence with MuleSoft's Agent Fabric, addressing security blind spots created by unmonitored APIs and shadow AI deployments. More than 20 joint customers already use the integration. According to Akamai's 2026 API Security Impact Study, 87% of organisations reported an API-related security incident during 2025. The integration establishes two-way data synchronisation between the platforms. MuleSoft Exchange automatically synchronises API specifications with Akamai, whilst Akamai analyses API activity and feeds threat risk scores into MuleSoft's unified control plane. The technology is currently available, with Akamai planning additional product updates for the second half of 2026. Akamai will demonstrate these capabilities at Salesforce Dreamforce on 15–17 September 2026 in San Francisco.
F5 and MuleSoft, a Salesforce company, collaborate to deliver inline security and governance for Agent Fabric and agentic AI applications. F5 announced a technology integration with MuleSoft, bringing F5 AI Guardrails - part of the F5 AI Security Platform - directly into Agent Fabric. As enterprises rapidly scale AI agents and large language model (LLM) applications, this native integration provides security and platform engineering teams with centralized policy enforcement, real-time protection against malicious prompts, and enhanced auditability without re-architecting or replacing the systems already in use. As organizations scale agentic AI capabilities, security teams face a growing governance gap and frequently lack visibility into agentic traffic. They risk exposure from prompt injection, harmful outputs, and sensitive data leakage. The joint integration federates F5's runtime AI security into Agent Fabric's Omni Gateway, enabling enterprises to enforce unified guardrail policies across all prompts and outputs moving through their agentic workflows. Eliminating the governance gap for agentic AI. Until now, organizations deploying Agent Fabric and seeking to leverage F5 AI Guardrails have faced a trade-off: either route LLM traffic through a separate F5 inspection layer, creating additional operational complexity and fragmented telemetry, or rely solely on native gateway controls without extending F5 AI Guardrails policies directly into their MuleSoft-managed workflows. By federating F5 AI Guardrails into Agent Fabric, enterprises gain: * Unified governance and zero double-proxy overhead: Policy management for AI traffic lives in a single control plane. Agent Fabric's Omni Gateway routes LLM calls directly to the F5 AI Guardrails Scan API, inspecting inbound prompts and outbound completions inline before models are invoked or responses returned. * Support for Agentforce ecosystems: Organizations can apply consistent runtime security controls across Agentforce-powered agents, Agent Fabric workflows, and custom AI applications. * Proactive threat mitigation: The solution is designed to block prompt injection, jailbreaks, toxicity, and unauthorized topics while reducing personally identifiable information (PII) and protected data exposure at runtime. * Data residency and sovereign control: Flexible dual-deployment topology allows self-hosted Kubernetes deployments including private VPCs, allowing sensitive prompt and completion data to remain within customer boundaries. * Low-touch policy tuning: Security teams author and version scanners, blocklists, and sensitivity thresholds within the F5 console, which Omni Gateway picks up dynamically without requiring policy or code changes. * SOC back-correlation and compliance auditability: Decisions carry detailed telemetry and shared scan IDs for seamless correlation in the F5 console, simplifying compliance with regulations such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, and HIPAA. "AI agents are moving from experiments into the critical path of the enterprise," said Kunal Anand, Chief Product Officer at F5. "The biggest risk in agentic AI is that agents will move faster than enterprise security and governance models can keep up. By integrating the F5 AI Security Platform directly into Agent Fabric, we are putting protection in the path of every prompt and response, where it can operate in real time. That lets organizations move faster with AI while preserving the control, visibility, and accountability their most important business processes demand." "We built Agent Fabric as the neutral solution to support enterprises running agents across a mix of models and platforms," said Andrew Comstock, SVP & GM at MuleSoft. "By extending Agent Fabric's existing LLM API and AI services to support F5 AI Guardrails as a first-class provider, we're making it even easier for customers to scale their agentic enterprise on the security tooling they know and trust."
