Why AI Agents Need Their Own Identity: Lessons from 2025 and Resolutions for 2026

As we close out 2025, it's time to reflect on the hard lessons learned from deploying AI agents in production environments. The promise of AI agents is compelling: autonomous systems that can handle complex tasks, make intelligent decisions, and execute actions on our behalf. But as several high-profile incidents this year have starkly demonstrated, this autonomy comes with unprecedented risks when proper identity and access management controls are absent.

What Is an MCP Gateway? Key Features and Benefits

API protocols evolve every few years. We have moved from SOAP to REST, then to GraphQL, gRPC, and AsyncAPI for event-driven systems. Now with the rise of large language models (LLMs) and AI agents, organizations need a new class of interfaces that allow agents to take action across real systems, not just generate text. LLMs are powerful reasoning engines, but they lack context. They cannot perform actions by themselves, see real-time data, private information, or internal systems.

Architecture Diagramming: From L0 to Ln - Simplifying for Every Audience #WordsUnplugged

Architecture diagrams are crucial, but the complexity of modern systems demands a better way to communicate. WSO2 CTO *Asanka Abeysinghe* and Lead Solutions Engineer *Erandi Ganepola* break down the L0-Ln Methodology—a simplified, level-based approach to visual abstraction. Watch our Words Unplugged video to discover how this scales from a team view to an organization-wide enterprise architecture, providing durable anchors (L0) and change-friendly details (L1-Ln) that evolve with the business.

Secure Your AI Agents and MCP Servers - New in WSO2 Identity Server 7.2

AI agents are becoming more autonomous — making decisions, taking actions, and accessing sensitive data — but traditional IAM systems weren’t built for them. How do you secure, control, and audit AI agents in your apps? In this video, Savindi Waduge introduces *WSO2 Identity Server 7.2,* a major release designed to address the security challenges of the AI era. From defining "Identity for AI Agents" to securing the *Model Context Protocol (MCP)* , this update ensures your autonomous systems are secure, accountable, and manageable.

What Is an API Gateway? Fundamentals, Benefits, and Future Trends

If you're working with APIs, chances are that the term "API gateway" has popped up in a conversation or web search at least once. Although they are not new, many developers that are new to creating APIs (or deploying them into a production environment) haven't heard of them or don't fully understand what the technology does. In the most simple terms, an API gateway is a single entry point where API traffic comes in and is then proxied to your actual APIs.

Introducing Choreo Navigation Assistant

AI has become an integral part of how we work today. From writing code to managing workflows, AI assistants help us complete tasks faster and with greater precision. In modern software products, AI copilots are no longer a luxury, they’re a necessity. They reduce cognitive load, simplify complex workflows, and allow users to focus on what truly matters.

Introducing Automation Pipelines in Choreo

Choreo already provides application developers with powerful CI/CD pipelines, enabling them to automate, customize, and streamline build and deployment processes. However, until now, external resource integration was limited strictly to APIs—lacking a native mechanism to create or register other external dependencies like databases, message queues, or storage services directly within the platform.

What is an AI Gateway? Key Benefits and Examples

Applications and systems using AI have exploded in popularity, with every company looking to integrate AI anywhere they can. This move toward AI-assisted and AI-powered products appears to be the future. However, early adoption is great, but gaps form quickly at scale. For example, in 2023 OWASP began to publish the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (updated again in 2025), which outlined ten common security flaws found in LLM-based applications.

AI can't replace YOU... yet #genai #softwarearchitecture #wso2

Even AI experts like Andrej Karpathy don’t let AI do the thinking for them. The rule? Manual First. If you let an algorithm do the first pass, you lose the nuance and "sense" that only a human brain can pick up. Don’t trade deep understanding for a shortcut. In this clip from EP18: Deep Work for Architects, Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana explains why relying on AI summaries kills your ability to think deeply—and how to use tools without losing your edge.
