- Joint solutions will undergo ServiceNow certification and integration testing.
- The announcement is not a generally available completed integration.
What is changing?
Kong announced on October 28 that it is a founding member of the ServiceNow Control Tower Alliance. The alliance will develop solutions around ServiceNow Super Intelligence Control Tower to discover, secure, observe and measure enterprise AI systems. Kong will work alongside other founding members including Anthropic, AWS, Cisco, NVIDIA, Okta and OpenAI.
Kong’s contribution focuses on enforcing policies at runtime across the APIs, models and tools used by AI applications. Kong AI Gateway brings access and security controls to LLM, MCP and agent-to-agent traffic, while Konnect is intended to preserve a consistent governance layer as organizations change models or providers.
Joint solutions will go through ServiceNow qualification, certification and integration testing. The companies plan collaborative development, pre-integrated delivery and joint go-to-market models. The announcement describes a partnership framework; it does not mean completed integrations are generally available today.
