Protect AI interactions from evolving threats
How Firewall for AI works
Features
Firewall for AI Use Cases
Protect AI applications from threats while ensuring compliance and trust.
Securing AI chatbots and virtual assistants
Akamai Firewall for AI secures chatbot interactions by preventing prompt injections, jailbreaks, and unauthorized data extraction.
AI-generated responses can be reviewed for adherence to compliance standards by filtering out toxic, misleading, or harmful content. This helps businesses maintain brand reputation and regulatory compliance while delivering trusted and safe AI experiences.
By leveraging real-time AI monitoring and adaptive cybersecurity policies, organizations can confidently deploy AI chatbots at scale — without the fear of security breaches — in ways that traditional WAF or WAAP solutions cannot.
Stop jailbreak attacks and prompt injection
AI-driven search engines and recommendation systems are vital for personalized user experiences, but they can be exploited. Attackers may use prompt engineering techniques to manipulate responses, extract proprietary information, or introduce bias into search results.
Akamai Firewall for AI defends against these threats by analyzing both AI inputs and outputs in real time. It applies guardrails that detect and block attempts to manipulate AI-driven jailbreaks, prompt injections, and toxicity.
Additionally, the solution safeguards against personally identifiable information leaks and intellectual property theft by inspecting for unauthorized data disclosures in AI-generated responses.
Protect data from exfiltration and theft
AI systems can access valuable proprietary knowledge and sensitive datasets, making them prime targets for attackers. Without proper security, adversarial actors can use model extraction techniques, prompt manipulation, or API abuse to steal or misuse AI-generated insights.
Akamai Firewall for AI provides multilayered protection by securing LLMs against unauthorized queries, adversarial inputs, and sensitive data access attempts. It enforces real-time monitoring and adaptive filtering, protecting against attackers extracting sensitive business intelligence, confidential data, or proprietary AI training information.
By leveraging enterprise-scale security and flexible deployment options, businesses can ensure that AI-powered solutions remain safeguarded against evolving cyberthreats so organizations can confidently deploy AI models while mitigating legal and reputational risks.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes. Firewall for AI monitors generative AI responses and applies guardrails to block toxic, misleading, or offensive content. It helps ensure AI-generated outputs remain brand safe, policy compliant, and free from regulatory violations.
Akamai Firewall for AI is model-agnostic and works with any LLM-based or AI-driven application. It protects AI models hosted on-prem, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments from the edge.
Akamai’s solution is designed for low-latency AI security, leveraging edge computing to minimize overhead.
The firewall can enforce policy-driven AI security to help meet regulatory requirements, such as AI governance frameworks (AI TRiSM, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications). It helps organizations prevent unauthorized data exposure, toxic outputs, and adversarial misuse.
The firewall detects unauthorized queries and data scraping attempts designed to extract AI model knowledge or proprietary training data. It can block malicious actors from exploiting AI vulnerabilities for model theft or unauthorized knowledge extraction.
An AI firewall, such as Akamai Firewall for AI, is purpose-built to inspect the deep payloads of generative AI inputs and outputs in real time. Unlike a WAF or generic gateway, an AI firewall actively detects and blocks AI-specific vulnerabilities outlined in the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications. In short, traditional gateways secure the delivery of the data, while an AI firewall secures the actual intent and safety of the AI conversation.
