Enterprises and organizations in search of an API security solution designed to protect their APIs
About Spherical Defense
Spherical Defense is an API security solution that uses deep unsupervised learning to protect your APIs. Spherical Defense Express is deployed on AWS, takes just a minute to download and will be protecting your assets within two hours at the cost of $1 per hour. Once you have deployed your Spherical instance, it will immediately start listening for API traffic. It will stay in this mode for only as long as there is insufficient data to train the first security model. After receiving roughly 16,000 requests, it will move to the next stage. After sufficient data has been received, the system moves into training mode. This mode will result in a trained security model after roughly 6 hours, which will then be mounted for evaluation. As new data is received, the Spherical instance will train more models to account for natural changes in your API traffic over time. Once the first security model has been trained, it is mounted for evaluation.

Gravitee
Gravitee is an AI agent management and API management platform designed to secure, observe, and govern interactions between AI agents, models, APIs, event streams, and enterprise services. Its AI Gateway provides centralized control for LLM traffic, MCP tool access, and agent-to-agent communication through LLM Proxy, MCP Proxy, and A2A Proxy capabilities. The platform can enforce authentication, authorization, least-privilege access, PII redaction, rate limits, spending controls, and audit logging across AI traffic. Gravitee also provides visibility into agent behavior, token consumption, dependencies, costs, and usage patterns so organizations can identify shadow AI and unmonitored workloads. Beyond AI governance, the platform manages APIs and event streams, including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, Kafka, and related enterprise integration patterns. Gravitee is designed for organizations that want a unified control layer for AI agents, APIs, events, and model access.
