Firewall for AI Use Cases

Protect AI applications from threats while ensuring compliance and trust.

Securing chatbots and assistants

Securing AI-powered 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.

Integration via the Akamai edge or REST API provides flexibility, ensuring seamless protection across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments​​.

Jail breaks, injections, and toxicity

Preventing AI-powered injection, jailbreaks, and other threats

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 preventing unauthorized data disclosures in AI-generated responses.

Exfiltration and theft protection

Data privacy and protecting AI models from data exfiltration and theft

AI systems can contain 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 AI models against unauthorized queries, adversarial inputs, and large-scale data scraping attempts. It enforces real-time monitoring and adaptive filtering, preventing attackers from 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. With automated compliance enforcement, organizations can confidently deploy AI models while mitigating legal and reputational risks​​. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The firewall analyzes and filters input queries in real time to detect and block malicious prompts, jailbreak attempts, and adversarial queries. It prevents attackers from manipulating AI-generated responses or extracting confidential data through input manipulation​.

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 provides flexible deployment options, allowing businesses to integrate the firewall via:

  • Akamai edge: Low-latency protection at the network edge
  • REST API integration: Real-time AI security using API calls
  • Reverse proxy: This roadmap capability routes AI traffic through Akamai’s secure filtering system​

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​.

Akamai’s solution is designed for low-latency AI security, leveraging edge computing to minimize overhead. The API and reverse proxy integrations ensure minimal disruption while scaling security protections in real time​.

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​.

Businesses can integrate Firewall for AI via API, edge deployment, or reverse proxy. The solution is cloud native and requires minimal infrastructure changes for quick adoption​.

The firewall detects unauthorized queries and data scraping attempts designed to extract AI model knowledge or proprietary training data. It blocks malicious actors from exploiting AI vulnerabilities for model theft or unauthorized knowledge extraction​.
