Indusface Launches AppTrana AI Shield

Indusface, a global leader in web and API security, has taken a bold step forward in enhancing the security of Generative AI (GenAI) applications with the introduction of AppTrana AI Shield. This innovative AI firewall is designed to protect organizations from misuse and data breaches associated with AI-powered applications, enabling safer integration of technologies like chatbots and internal copilots.

The launch comes at a crucial time as organizations increasingly rely on GenAI to transform their customer service and internal processes. However, with this transformation arises a unique set of cybersecurity challenges. According to Ashish Tandon, Founder and CEO of Indusface, while boards and leadership teams view GenAI as a powerful tool for better service delivery, they must also address the risks of sensitive data exposure. Misuse of these AI systems can lead to the leakage of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), increase the potential for fraud, and invite regulatory scrutiny.

AppTrana AI Shield is meticulously designed to help organizations adopt GenAI without compromising their security or compliance standards. By addressing gaps that traditional Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and API gateways typically overlook, it ensures comprehensive protection against emerging cyber threats. The key features of AppTrana AI Shield include:

• - Preventing Sensitive Data Leaks: The AI firewall enforces policies mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10, offering security teams a clear overview and audit-ready visibility of AI usage within their organization.
• - Centralized Control Across AI Endpoints: By inspecting each prompt and response in real-time, AppTrana AI Shield can block policy-violating queries and filter unapproved or high-risk outputs before they reach end users.
• - Adoption of Any LLM: Organizations can seamlessly integrate any LLM behind a consistent model-agnostic security layer, protecting public, hosted, or private models through existing AppTrana API onboarding workflows.

To further bolster security, AppTrana AI Shield includes integrated bot protection that detects and mitigates threats such as automated prompt storms and brute-force attacks. This feature also incorporates differentiated access controls for various users, including real users, internal tools, partners, and hostile automation.

Indusface's team of experts will continuously monitor LLM traffic 24/7 to ensure the detection of abuses and anomalies, while also collaborating with customer teams to fine-tune guardrails that minimize false positives. Customers will receive detailed, audit-ready reports demonstrating how risks related to AI and OWASP LLM Top 10 are managed effectively.

Currently, AppTrana AI Shield is available as part of a closed beta for existing customers of the AppTrana Web and API Protection platform. Organizations interested in fortifying their AI and LLM applications can reach out to Indusface for consultations.
