Prompt Security Firewall for AI on F5 Distributed Cloud Platform Secures Generative AI App Interactions

Organizations worldwide are building generative AI applications at a dizzying pace. These homegrown applications have become essential to driving innovation and new efficiencies. But even some of the most transformational generative AI applications could risk exposing the organization to brand-new attack surfaces.

Successful attacks such as prompt injections, jailbreaks, or remote code execution could lead to security breaches and data leaks. Similarly, potentially harmful or toxic responses by large language models (LLMs) to an organization's stakeholders could bring reputational damage, legal issues, and monetary losses.

In response to the growing need to protect applications powered by generative AI, the F5 Distributed Cloud Platform is expanding its third-party technology partnerships to include technologies that secure generative AI applications. Prompt Security, an AI firewall, is now supported by F5 Distributed Cloud App Stack. The Distributed Cloud Platform provides application security such as WAF, bot defense, DDoS protection, and API discovery/security, and removes complexity of networking with Customer Edge. This partnership showcases the extensibility of F5 Distributed Cloud Services and makes it easy for customers to secure AI applications across on-prem, edge, hybrid, and multicloud environments. The Prompt Security firewall for AI protects inbound generative AI queries and outbound responses, making sure organizations are safeguarded from prompt injections, sensitive data disclosure, harmful responses, and other hacks.
