AI DLP vs Traditional DLP: Why the LLM Request Path Needs a Different Control

Traditional DLP classifies documents and watches known egress channels like email, USB, and web uploads. AI DLP inspects the content of a prompt or response on the LLM request path. This comparison walks the three structural differences, identity correlation, data classification, and enforcement location, and shows why the AI request boundary is where prompt-level policy has to run.

LLM Gateway: What It Is, Where It Sits, and What It Has to Enforce

An LLM gateway is a specialized proxy that sits between applications and LLM provider APIs. It handles model routing, rate limiting, retries, fallbacks, prompt classification, identity-aware policy enforcement, and audit logging. The category has split along two lines: traffic-management gateways that optimize cost and latency, and policy-enforcement gateways that operate as the compliance layer. The piece walks through what an LLM gateway is, where it sits architecturally, and what an enforcement-grade gateway has to produce.

LLM Egress Control: The Per-Request Identity, Classification, and Audit Layer for AI Provider Traffic

LLM egress control is the request-time enforcement layer between corporate applications (and agents) and the external LLM endpoints they call. The layer reads the identity the request carries, classifies the prompt body, evaluates per-route policy, applies a pass, modify, redact, or block decision, and commits a per-decision audit record. This piece walks through the egress surface the layer covers, the policy decisions the layer commits, the audit record format, and the deployment topology that handles single-region and multi-region traffic.

Databricks AI Gateway: Guardrails, Rate Limits, Inference Tables

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): What It Covers and Where Runtime Enforcement Fits

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: Detecting and Preventing Sensitive Data in Prompts

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.

AI Prompt Risk Scanner: A Free Tool To Check What Your AI Prompts Actually Expose

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.

AI Firewall: What It Actually Inspects, Where It Sits, and the Audit Record It Produces

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.

LLM Firewall: How the Inspection Layer Differs From a Network Firewall and a Model Guardrails Library

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: The Libraries Available, Where They Sit, and What They Cannot Replace

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 Prompt Risk Scanner: A Free Tool to Check Prompts for PII, PHI, Secrets, and Injection Patterns

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 Architecture Deep Dive: Where the Inspection Sits and What It Cannot See

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.
