According to MarketsandMarkets, the global API security market is projected to grow from $744 million in 2023 to $3.03 billion by 2028. This reflects a strong CAGR of 32.5%. The surge is due to rising API breaches and the growing complexity of application ecosystems.

Organizations are also rapidly adopting AI-powered agents. As a result, demand for advanced AI security is rising. The need for modern, automated protection tools is more urgent than ever.

To meet this need, CyberKnight and Wallarm have announced a strategic value-added distribution partnership. The announcement was made at GISEC 2025 in Dubai at the CyberKnight stand. The partnership targets enterprises and government entities across META.
