Cequence Security was appointed co-chair of TM Forum’s AI-Native Blueprints to lead the Agentic Interaction Security workstream, a role presented as defining standards and guardrails for secure, interoperable agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) across the global telecommunications sector.

TM Forum established the Agentic Interaction Security initiative within its AI-Native Blueprints program and convened telecommunications leaders and technology partners to address deployment of agentic AI systems that can operate autonomously while addressing security, trust, and interoperability. According to Microsoft’s February 2026 Cyber Pulse Report, more than 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies deployed active AI agents, yet only 47 percent had AI-specific safeguards in place.

The announcement said Cequence would contribute operational learnings and threat intelligence to secure agent interactions and would help define frameworks to ensure interoperability was secure by design. The company’s stated focus areas included integrity standards for agentic connections (including Model Context Protocol (MCP)), real-time governance blueprints, operational resilience patterns, and ecosystem coordination among security practitioners, CSPs, and standards bodies.

The appointment coincided with Mobile World Congress, where TM Forum introduced Cequence’s leadership role during an executive networking reception. The release also described the company’s operational footprint, citing more than 10 billion sensitive interactions managed per day, safeguarding more than 4 billion user accounts worldwide, two of the top three telecoms as customers, and more than two billion telecom Application Programming Interface (API) transactions protected daily.

“As AI industrialises and the agent economy scales, agent-to-agent and agent-to-system interactions will grow exponentially — expanding the enterprise attack surface beyond anything we have seen before. Securing these interactions in a unified, secure-by-design and operationally assured way is now mission critical. The addition of Cequence as a member and co-chairing the Agentic Interaction Security Blueprint is a pivotal step in advancing our AI-Native Blueprint. As an AI-native security leader already protecting major telecommunications environments, Cequence brings proven expertise in securing APIs, MCP protocols, and high-volume digital ecosystems. Their deep telco experience will materially accelerate the harmonisation of agentic security across our CSP members and partners,” said Guy Lupo, EVP AI & Data Mission, TM Forum. “The telecoms industry is at a pivotal moment for AI transformation, yet the agentic AI security challenge is too large for any single company to solve alone,” said Shreyans Mehta, CTO and Co-Founder of Cequence Security.

The release said this work complemented Cequence’s contributions to emerging CIS guidance for agentic AI environments and MCP-related usage, and noted the company’s participation in three consecutive Verizon DBIRs and delivery of AI Gateway technology for securing MCP-powered access to applications and data.
