Secure AI at Scale: Prisma AIRS and Kong AI Gateway Now Integrated

APIs and AI are integral to modern applications, with API gateways serving as crucial control points for managing traffic and ensuring security. The partnership between Palo Alto Networks and Kong introduces an integration between Prisma® AIRS™ and the Kong AI Gateway to address new security challenges such as prompt injection and data leakage without hindering innovation. Kong, a leader in API management, has developed the Kong AI Gateway to support AI infrastructures, providing a centralized enforcement point for AI security through plugins like the AI Proxy Advanced and AI Semantic Cache. Prisma AIRS provides real-time threat prevention by scanning prompts and responses for threats, preventing issues like data leakage and malicious outputs, and ensuring ethical and safe AI outputs. The integration offers two methods: the comprehensive Prisma AIRS Plugin for deep, bidirectional security, and the Request Callout for a fast, simple inline defense against prompt injection. These solutions empower organizations to secure their AI traffic efficiently, reducing security gaps and operational overhead while enabling faster development cycles.
