Why AI Apps Need Their Own Firewall
Four risks WAFs miss. AI Shield covers all four.
A WAF checks requests against known attack patterns. In an LLM app, the risk comes from what a prompt means and what the model says back.
Natural-Language Attacks
Attacks written in plain language
Prompt injection and jailbreaks look like normal user input. Signature rules search for known attack strings, so these prompts pass straight through to the model.
OWASP LLM01Two-Way Data Exposure
Sensitive data in both directions
Users paste personal data and card numbers into prompts. Models can leak system prompts, internal documents or customer records in their answers.
OWASP LLM02 · LLM07Denial-of-Wallet
Every request costs money
Bots, prompt floods and free riders run up token bills and can take a model offline. Each abusive request lands on your invoice.
OWASP LLM10Agents That Act
Agents follow instructions they read
Agents take instructions in plain language and act on them. A single injected prompt can push an agent to leak data or step outside its job.
OWASP LLM01AppTrana AI Shield Capabilities
Six AI security capabilities. One managed layer.
AI Shield inspects every prompt and response inline, including those of your agents, stops token abuse and enforces risk‑based policies. Indusface experts handle the exceptions.

Why AppTrana AI Shield
Five gaps in AI security today. AppTrana AI Shield closes all five.
Most AI security tools stop at detection and leave tuning, triage and incident response to your team. That is where AI protection breaks down in practice.
| AI security gap | Typical approach | AppTrana AI Shield |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-based protection | Generic guardrails applied the same way to every app, with AI security testing sold as a separate product. | AI pentesting probes your LLM apps and agents for OWASP LLM Top 10 weaknesses. SwyftComply AI turns each confirmed vulnerability into a bespoke edge policy, verified by experts before enforcement. |
| Managed outcomes | Self-serve tools. Your team writes the rules, triages alerts and chases false positives. | Fully managed 24x7. AI triages alerts, and named Indusface experts handle exceptions, false positives and incidents. |
| Inspection scope | Prompts are checked, while model responses often reach users uninspected. | Every prompt and every response is inspected inline, so data leaks and system prompt exposure are stopped before they reach users. |
| AI agents | Agent endpoints are treated as ordinary APIs, with no view of what the prompt asks for. | Agent prompts and responses run through the same AI policies as your chatbots. |
| Cost of an attack | Prompt floods and scrapers burn tokens, and AI threat detection is often a paid add-on. | Rate limits and bot controls stop token abuse at the edge, and AppTrana bills on clean traffic. |
FAQ
Questions teams ask before choosing AppTrana AI Shield.
An AI firewall is a security layer between your users and your LLM apps and agents that inspects the prompts going in and the responses coming out. A WAF matches known attack patterns in web traffic, while AI Shield reads what a prompt means and what a response contains, so it catches prompt injection, jailbreaks and data leakage written in plain language. AI Shield runs on the AppTrana platform alongside WAF, API security, bot protection and DDoS protection.
Risk-based protection builds your policies from the vulnerabilities your app actually has. AI pentesting finds them by probing your LLM apps and agents for prompt injection, data leakage, off-topic abuse and unsafe agent actions, and certified pentesters validate the critical ones. SwyftComply AI turns each confirmed vulnerability into a bespoke edge policy, Indusface experts verify it before it moves to block mode, and testing re-runs as your app changes.
Indusface experts design policies around your use cases, data sensitivity and risk appetite, including topic restrictions such as limiting a restaurant chatbot to menu and order questions. Each policy has a clear action: allow, log, mask or block. AI triages alerts in real time, and a named team handles exceptions, false positives and incidents 24x7.
Yes. AI Shield inspects every prompt before it reaches the model and every response before it reaches the user, blocking or masking personal data, card numbers and system prompt content. Agents are covered the same way: AI Shield inspects what each agent is asked and what it returns, which stops injected instructions before the agent acts on them.
Rate limits, bot detection and identity-based controls stop prompt floods, scrapers and free riders at the edge, before they run up token costs. AppTrana bills on clean traffic, so an attack leaves your invoice unchanged. AI Shield and AI pentesting are both priced per application, with no separate AI security platform to buy.
AI Shield is model-agnostic and protects apps built on OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Mistral and self-hosted open-weight models, in the cloud or on premises. Protection starts within minutes of a DNS change with no code changes, and inline inspection typically adds under 3 ms of latency.
AI Shield controls map to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025, including prompt injection (LLM01), sensitive information disclosure (LLM02), improper output handling (LLM05), system prompt leakage (LLM07) and unbounded consumption (LLM10). Its logs and reports support compliance programmes for the EU AI Act, India's DPDP Act, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0 and the NIST AI RMF.
