Discovery, Schema Enforcement, and Bot Control Belong in One Continuous Workflow at the Edge
API governance is becoming harder as organizations release new services, accelerate development with AI, and open their applications to more automated callers. Fragmented inventories and disconnected security tools leave teams struggling to identify which APIs exist, what each allows, and how to respond when requests violate those boundaries.
In this Moor Insights & Strategy pulse brief, Mike Leone explains why continuous API discovery, schema enforcement, and bot control belong in one workflow at the edge. He outlines six criteria for evaluating API security platforms and examines how Fastly approaches governance across APIs, bots, scrapers, and AI agents.
For security leaders and platform engineering teams, the report offers a practical framework for evaluating API visibility, enforcement, and shared operational responsibility as applications and architectures evolve.
