NeuralTrust vs. Google: AI Gateway Comparison 2026
Blog post from NeuralTrust
NeuralTrust TrustGate and Google Agent Gateway are presented as AI gateways for managing agent, LLM, and Model Context Protocol traffic, but with different deployment models and security approaches. TrustGate is an open-source, portable gateway that can run in private infrastructure or multiple clouds, offering centralized routing, policy enforcement, session-aware security, an integrated catalog of more than 200 MCP servers, defenses against malicious instructions embedded in tool definitions, and native exports to SIEM platforms such as Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar, Datadog, and Elastic. Google Agent Gateway is a proprietary, fully managed component of the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform that operates only within Google Cloud, using services such as IAM, Identity-Aware Proxy, mTLS, DPoP, Model Armor, Cloud Logging, and Cloud Trace. While Google emphasizes identity controls, cloud integration, and governance through its Agent Registry, the comparison argues that it requires users to register tools themselves, analyzes security primarily on a per-request basis, lacks built-in inspection of MCP tool metadata, and needs additional export workflows for third-party SIEMs. The comparison concludes that Google Agent Gateway may suit organizations standardized on Google Cloud, whereas TrustGate is positioned for organizations seeking deployment flexibility, open-source control, integrated MCP connectivity, and broader security operations integration.
