AI Firewall

What It Is

AI Firewall is Aptori’s real-time control plane for securing, governing, and auditing enterprise AI usage. It enforces security and compliance policies inline across prompts, responses, agents, tools, and model providers, ensuring AI can be used safely in production and regulated environments.

The Problem It Solves

Enterprise AI adoption is outpacing governance.

• Sensitive data is exposed through prompts and model outputs
• Prompt injection and unsafe agent behavior go undetected
• AI usage lacks visibility, accountability, and auditability
• Policies exist on paper but are not enforced in real time

AI Firewall closes this gap by turning AI governance into an enforceable security control.

How It Works

AI Firewall sits inline between users, applications, agents, and AI models. Every AI interaction is inspected, evaluated against policy, and either allowed, modified, or blocked before execution or response delivery.

Core Capabilities

Inline Prompt and Response Security
Inspects all AI inputs and outputs in real time to prevent data leakage, unsafe instructions, and policy violations.

Policy-Driven Governance
Centralized policies enforced by user, role, application, environment, model, or provider.

Agent and Tool Control
Restricts agent actions, validates tool calls, and enforces approval workflows for high-risk operations.

Provider and Model Independence
Consistent enforcement across hosted and local models, including OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and on-prem inference.

Auditability and Visibility
Complete audit trail of AI usage, decisions, and enforcement actions for security, legal, and compliance teams.

Security and Compliance Value

AI Firewall enables organizations to operationalize AI governance and supports requirements across privacy, security, and regulated environments by:

• Preventing unauthorized data exposure
• Enforcing AI acceptable use policies
• Providing continuous monitoring and audit evidence
• Reducing AI-related operational and regulatory risk

Who It Is For

• CISOs and Security Leaders governing enterprise AI risk
• Legal and Compliance teams requiring enforceable controls
• Platform and Infrastructure teams managing AI at scale
• Product and Engineering teams deploying AI safely

Business Impact

• Accelerates safe enterprise AI adoption
• Reduces risk of AI-driven security incidents
• Replaces fragmented guardrails with centralized enforcement
• Builds trust with regulators, customers, and partners
