Optimize security and performance for SLM and LLM application workloads hosted directly on physical infrastructure or data centers, enabling maximum control and compliance with organizational policies. - Private Cloud
Enhance observability and protection for SLM and LLM workloads in private cloud environments or co-location facilities, offering dedicated resources and tailored configurations for advanced security and operational consistency.
Built for the AI security era
F5 AI Gateway enhances routing and observability with context-based model routing to optimize responses and streamline development. Integrated with OpenTelemetry, it provides full transaction visibility, while exporting logs to SIEM and SOAR tools ensures compliance. By simplifying routing and offering actionable insights, it accelerates AI application iteration, efficiency, and scalability.
F5 AI Gateway ensures secure AI interactions by protecting against prompt injection attacks and sensitive data disclosure in real time. Organizations benefit from robust authentication, authorization, and role-based access control (RBAC) to maintain compliance and governance. Secure mTLS communication safeguards AI traffic, while dynamic guardrail/processor updates adapt to emerging threats, delivering enhanced security, reliability, and resilience.
F5 AI Gateway streamlines scalable deployment and operations by enabling rapid rollout across any infrastructure. With built-in traffic management and robust security controls, it ensures secure scalability to meet dynamic business needs. Flexible Kubernetes integrations, advanced automation tools, and support for leading AI models optimize performance, accelerate iteration, and adapt to growing AI demands while maintaining reliability and compliance.
F5 AI Gateway provides robust data leakage detection and prevention by inspecting prompts and responses in real time, identifying and mitigating risks to sensitive data like PII, and PHI. It enforces policies to log, redact, or block content, ensuring compliance with OWASP guidelines. Seamless SIEM and SOAR integration enables rapid incident response and auditing workflows, safeguarding AI models from malicious or inadvertent data leaks.
