Inspira and Cequence Team Up to Offer Managed API Security at Global Scale

As APIs become the lifeblood of modern digital ecosystems, a new alliance between Inspira Enterprise and Cequence Security aims to provide organizations with a robust front line against a rapidly escalating class of threats. The strategic partnership unites Inspira’s global cybersecurity services with Cequence’s AI-powered Unified API Protection (UAP) platform, positioning the duo to offer fully managed defense against API-based attacks—from bot-driven fraud to business logic exploitation.

APIs are now essential connective tissue in today’s digital infrastructure, but their exponential growth has outpaced the traditional security stack. With enterprises deploying APIs across multi-cloud environments at breakneck speed, shadow APIs, misconfigurations, and inconsistent security policies are becoming the norm. Attackers have noticed. Automated threats like credential stuffing, API scraping, and synthetic account creation are now regular features in threat actor toolkits.

This is where Cequence’s technology enters the frame. Its UAP platform provides enterprises with continuous visibility into API usage, runtime protection, and behavioral analysis to detect anomalies—without derailing legitimate traffic or user experience. But even the most advanced platform requires skilled hands to configure, maintain, and monitor it around the clock. That’s where Inspira’s global delivery model and white-glove service come in.

“Our customers are under pressure to secure their APIs, manage risk, and meet growing compliance demands across geographies,” said Geetanjali Sethi, President – Strategy and Growth at Inspira. “By partnering with Cequence, we’re expanding our portfolio to offer API security and bot protection as a fully managed service, combining cutting-edge technology with our global expertise and 24/7 operational support.”

The joint offering marks a clear trend toward security-as-a-service in the API space. With API abuse now a major contributor to data breaches and service outages, enterprises are looking beyond one-off tools to sustained, adaptive protection. By wrapping Cequence’s platform in Inspira’s advisory, transformation, and operational services—including full lifecycle threat management and monitoring from its Cyber Fusion Centers—the partnership enables faster adoption and enterprise-wide alignment.

“This partnership is rooted in delivering real outcomes,” said Arun Gowda, VP of Business Development at Cequence Security. “With Cequence, customers already get a world-class platform to secure their APIs and defend against automated attacks. Now, paired with Inspira’s global reach and service capabilities, organizations can consume the platform as a managed service, enabling faster implementation, management, and threat monitoring.”

Notably, the offering is also designed to address compliance-heavy sectors such as finance and healthcare, where securing APIs during open banking transitions or ensuring data residency across jurisdictions can become regulatory minefields. Together, Inspira and Cequence are providing both the tooling and the operational muscle to meet those demands without compromising developer agility or customer experience.

As API sprawl accelerates and attackers evolve in tandem, the partnership signals a shift in how cybersecurity firms are delivering value—not just by offering better detection, but by embedding protection directly into how organizations operate and innovate.
