AI Firewall
Inspect, filter, and block malicious or non-compliant AI traffic in real time — at the edge of every agent.
The problem
Once an agent is live, it becomes an attack surface: prompt injection, data exfiltration, toxic or non-compliant output, and abuse. Perimeter network firewalls do not understand AI traffic.

Inspect every prompt and response in-line for prompt injection, jailbreaks, and policy violations.
Detect and redact PII, secrets, and regulated data before it leaves — or enters — the model.
Block, quarantine, or route suspicious requests, and rate-limit abusive callers.
Apply per-agent, per-tenant, and per-region policies from one control point.
How it connects
The firewall enforces the policies set in Access & Governance, shares threat signals with Deep Observability, and logs every decision to the immutable Audit & Compliance trail.
