CloudNetworks announced that it has signed a partnership with Kong, a global API and AI connectivity company, and will begin supplying Kong AI Gateway in Korea.Kong AI Gateway is an AI gateway that integrates and manages an enterprise's AI traffic through a single gateway. This partnership was pursued to support domestic enterprises in building their AI operating systems, amid growing demand for control and governance of AI calls as the use of generative AI and LLMs spreads into actual business operations.As enterprise AI adoption moves from the experimental stage into the service operation stage, how to control and observe AI calls is emerging as a new operational challenge. Since LLM calls are also made in API form, the need for a central gateway capable of authentication, security, and monitoring is growing.Kong is a global company that develops API and AI connectivity technology, and has provided an API management platform based on the widely used open-source Kong Gateway. Recently, it has been expanding its API management scope to include LLM, MCP, and agent-to-agent (A2A) traffic, with Kong AI Gateway handling the AI traffic management portion of this.Kong AI Gateway is designed by extending the existing API gateway concept to centrally control, secure, and observe LLM and generative AI API calls. It runs on the same runtime as Kong Gateway and manages calls to multiple LLM providers through a single standard interface.Kong AI Gateway applies the same existing API security policies—such as authentication/authorization, rate limiting, and audit logs—to AI calls as well. AI-specific features such as PII removal, prompt control, semantic caching, and traffic observability are also provided at the gateway layer.As enterprise AI adoption has recently spread, there is a growing need to design not only model performance but also control over call paths, cost management, and audit systems together. Along with supplying Kong AI Gateway in Korea, CloudNetworks provides architecture design, implementation, integration, and technical support tailored to customer environments.Heung-gyun Jung, CEO of CloudNetworks, said, "As generative AI is applied to actual business operations, enterprises face a situation where they must consider not only model performance but also how to control and observe AI calls. Based on our experience building AI operating environments, we will supply Kong AI Gateway to support the AI governance systems of domestic enterprises."David Callisch, Vice President of Kong for Asia Pacific, India, and Japan, said, "This year marks a point when adoption of Kong AI Gateway is gaining momentum, particularly among major domestic companies in finance, manufacturing, and retail. Through cooperation with CloudNetworks, we will support enterprises in building their AI governance systems."Source: Hi News (https://www.hinews.co.kr/index.php)

This collaboration comes in response to the growing need for AI traffic control and management systems as services utilizing generative AI and large language models (LLMs) expand. As enterprise AI adoption expands into actual services and business environments, there is growing demand for a gateway-type system that can integrate authentication, security, and monitoring management.In environments where LLM calls are made via API, traffic management complexity is also increasing as multiple model providers, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), Model Context Protocol (MCP), and agent-to-agent (A2A) communication are used together. Kong has extended the functionality of its existing API gateway platform, Kong Gateway, into the AI and agent traffic management domain and introduced Kong AI Gateway.Kong AI Gateway is built on the same runtime as Kong Gateway and is configured to manage calls to multiple LLM providers through a single interface. Along with existing API management functions such as authentication/authorization, usage control, and audit logs, it also provides features such as personally identifiable information (PII) filtering, prompt management, caching, and traffic monitoring.Along with supplying the product, CloudNetworks plans to provide architecture design tailored to customer environments, system implementation, integration, and technical support. It supports enterprises in building their AI management systems by linking existing AI operating environments with the gateway layer.Heung-gyun Jung, CEO of CloudNetworks, said, "As generative AI is applied to business operations, enterprises need to consider not only model performance but also control and observation of AI calls. Through the supply of Kong AI Gateway, we will support enterprises in building their AI operations and management systems."David Callisch, Vice President of Kong for Asia Pacific, India, and Japan, said, "This is a time when adoption of AI Gateway is expanding among domestic companies in finance, manufacturing, retail, and other sectors.
