Akto Partners with Portkey to Bring Guardrails to AI Gateway

Engineering teams are advancing beyond simple experimentation with large language models (LLMs) by deploying AI agents and production-grade generative AI features integrated with real tools and internal systems. To manage the complexity of these systems, AI gateways are being used to handle tasks such as routing, logging, and security across various model providers, including OpenAI and open-source models. The partnership between Akto and Portkey offers a unified solution that combines AI traffic management with built-in security measures, ensuring that security is integrated at the gateway level. This integration allows for real-time inspection of prompts and responses, blocking malicious actions, and protecting sensitive data without disrupting developer workflows. Akto provides visibility and risk assessments while enforcing policies such as prompt injection protection and harmful content filtering. The partnership aims to streamline AI security by embedding it into the infrastructure, thus facilitating seamless and secure deployment of AI agents within production environments. With this collaboration, teams can maintain both security and developer velocity as they build and manage complex AI systems.
