Databricks AI Gateway provides rate limits, usage tracking, inference tables, and guardrails for Databricks serving endpoints. See the controls it applies, how inference-table evidence works, and the authorization check that belongs on each routed AI request.
AI security posture management (AI-SPM) inventories where AI runs, scores how each deployment is configured, and tracks the data those deployments reach. This guide covers the four capability areas of AI-SPM, where its point-in-time visibility ends, and why the per-request decision and per-decision audit record belong to a runtime enforcement layer at the AI request boundary.
ChatGPT DLP is the practice of detecting and preventing sensitive data from entering ChatGPT prompts. Traditional DLP operating at the email gateway, the storage layer, and the endpoint misses prompt-layer data movement. The architectural fix moves DLP into the AI request path with prompt-level classification, identity-aware policy, and per-decision audit records. This piece walks through where ChatGPT DLP needs to operate, what classifiers matter, and how it differs from network DLP that watches egress packets without prompt context.
The AI Prompt Risk Scanner is a free tool that inspects a sample of your organization prompts against the same detection rules a production inspection layer would apply. Paste a prompt or upload a batch, and the scanner returns the data classes detected, the regulatory exposures triggered, and the policy outcomes that would fire under standard rules. This piece walks through what the scanner inspects, how the rules work, and what to do with the results.
The phrase "AI firewall" gets applied to four very different products. The category collapses when you ask what each one inspects, where in the request path the inspection happens, and whether the record series survives EU AI Act Article 12 review. This piece walks through the four product shapes that get marketed as AI firewalls, the architectural property each one has and lacks, the inspection target the term should refer to in a regulated deployment, and the audit record the inspection layer commits at decision time.
An LLM firewall is the inspection layer that sits inline between the calling identity and the LLM endpoint, evaluating identity-bound policy at the HTTP request boundary and committing a per-decision audit record. The layer differs from a network firewall (which inspects TCP and TLS metadata) and from a model guardrails library (which runs inside the inference path). This piece walks through the inspection target the LLM firewall has, the request-time decisions the layer commits, the deployment topology that fits a production stack, and the audit record the layer produces.
Open source LLM guardrails libraries cover prompt-side and response-side filtering inside the application or inference path. Llama Guard, NeMo Guardrails, Guardrails AI, LMQL, and Rebuff each occupy a different position in the stack and produce different control surfaces. This piece walks through the libraries available, the architectural position each one takes, the controls they produce, and the regulatory profile that requires an external inspection layer on top of any of them.
AI policy enforcement is the runtime control point that turns a written policy into a per-request decision. This guide walks through how to set up enforcement: the policy schema, the decision-point placement, the per-route and per-role rules, the audit format that proves the policy was applied, and the deployment sequence that gets a production-ready enforcement layer live in 8 to 12 weeks.
Most production AI applications send prompts to vendor LLM endpoints without an inspection layer. The prompt content carries PII, PHI, secrets, and prompt-injection vectors at rates the application teams underestimate. This page walks through the free prompt risk scanner the DeepInspect team built, the four classifiers it runs, and the report format that tells you what your traffic actually carries.
AWS Bedrock Guardrails sit inside the model invocation path on the AWS side of the API boundary. The architecture covers AWS-hosted endpoints with policies AWS authors and evaluates. This piece walks through the Bedrock Guardrails request path, the four policy categories AWS exposes, where the inspection actually runs, the audit records the deployer receives, and the deployment patterns the Bedrock-only customer and the multi-cloud customer should each consider.
Azure AI Content Safety runs inside the Azure-hosted classification path. The product covers text, image, prompt-shield, groundedness, and protected-material checks the deployer composes through the Content Safety endpoint. This piece walks through the request path, the API surfaces, the policy categories, the audit records the deployer receives through Azure Monitor and the Foundry observability stack, and the deployment patterns the Azure-only customer and the multi-cloud customer should each consider.
Traditional DLP sits at the network edge or endpoint and inspects files and email. AI DLP has to sit at the HTTP request layer between authenticated users or agents and the LLM endpoint, because the prompt is the data and the prompt is inside an encrypted POST body the network DLP never sees. This piece walks through where each DLP layer terminates inspection, the regulatory framing under EU AI Act Article 12 and HIPAA, and the inspection architecture that produces a defensible record.
