GraphQL API Security in the Agentic AI Era

AI agents are only as capable as the data they can reach. In modern enterprise architectures, that data moves through APIs. As organizations scale their AI ambitions, GraphQL is emerging as the orchestration layer connecting agents, applications, and the services they depend on. That makes securing it a strategic priority, not just a technical one.

Join Faisal Waseem, Staff Solutions Architect at Apollo, as he walks through the security architecture of Apollo Router and GraphOS, covering control plane governance, router-level authentication and authorization, demand control, and what it means to govern a GraphQL API in a world where AI agents are active consumers of your data.
