Persistent and Kong Partner to Help Enterprises Deploy AI Securely at Scale

As companies move AI from testing to real-world use, the main challenge is not access to AI tools anymore. Instead, it is about how to connect, manage, and control AI systems properly when they are used at a large scale.

The partnership will help companies create a unified system to manage APIs, data, AI models, and agents together. This will make systems less complex, easier to control, and more scalable across different environments like hybrid and multi-cloud setups.

The solution will include strong security and control features such as protection of personal data (PII), centralized access control, and full system monitoring. This ensures AI systems are safe, compliant and properly managed.

By combining Kong’s AI and API platform with Persistent’s GenAI Hub and engineering expertise, companies can move from small AI experiments to full production systems faster. This will help them reduce risk, lower costs, and get business value from AI more quickly.

Anand Krishnan, Executive Vice President, Persistent, “Enterprise AI will not be defined by who has access to models. It will be defined by how effectively organizations can govern how intelligence flows across their systems. APIs are no longer just integration points. They are the control layer for enterprise AI. Our partnership with Kong brings together Persistent’s engineering-led approach with a unified connectivity platform to help clients move from fragmented AI initiatives to scalable, production-grade systems. Together, we are enabling enterprises to build AI that is secure, controlled and ready to deliver real business outcomes.”

Ken Kim, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Development, Kong. Enterprises are moving fast to put AI into production, and APIs are critical for connecting services, data, and model endpoints across complex environments. At Kong, we are building the AI Connectivity infrastructure so organizations can secure, manage, govern, and scale traffic across APIs and AI workloads on any model or any cloud. We are excited to have Persistent as a key global integration partner, bringing deep digital engineering expertise that complements our unified API and AI platform. Together, we can help customers modernize integration and deploy enterprise AI with consistent policy enforcement, secure access controls, and strong observability and audit trails.”

Kong Inc. is a company that builds technology for connecting APIs and AI systems. It is helping create the basic infrastructure that AI runs on.
