F5 AI Gateway
A purpose-built AI gateway that inspects, protects, and optimally routes LLM and AI application traffic in real time.
Inspects inbound prompts and outbound responses in real time to block OWASP LLM Top 10 threats such as prompt injection, sensitive-data leakage, and model theft. Local and third-party LLM routing plus rate limiting control availability, performance, and cost.
What Is AI Gateway
LLM applications face new threats — prompt injection, sensitive-data leakage, model theft — that traditional web security struggles to stop. F5 AI Gateway sits in front of LLM services, inspecting and protecting inbound prompts and outbound responses in real time while optimally routing traffic across multiple models. It is a purpose-built AI security gateway that blocks OWASP LLM Top 10 threats while also controlling availability and cost.
Key Capabilities
Inbound prompt inspection
Blocks prompt injection (LLM01) and malicious requests
Outbound response protection
Prevents sensitive-data leakage with PII identification and masking
Guardrails & hallucination control
Applies system prompt guardrails
Multi-model routing
Steering across local and third-party LLMs (OpenAI · Anthropic · Azure · Ollama)
Rate limiting
Per-model rate limiting to control availability and cost
Threats Blocked & Protected (OWASP LLM Top 10 Examples)
| Threat | Response |
|---|---|
| LLM01 prompt injection | Real-time inspection and blocking of inbound prompts |
| Sensitive-data leakage | PII identification and masking of outbound responses |
| Model theft & abuse | Authentication and per-model rate limiting |
| Inappropriate output | Guardrail- and policy-based response filtering |
