What AI Security Is… and Isn't; Introducing A10 AI Firewall

Artificial intelligence is rapidly expanding across the enterprise landscape, but standard security measures simply aren't keeping up. In this video, Arjoyita Roy and Product Manager Luca Labardini from A10 Networks dive deep into the unique security challenges of modern AI applications and introduce the innovative A10 AI Firewall.

Many engineering teams and security leaders ask a fundamental question: Why can't we protect AI with our existing network firewalls or web application firewalls (WAF)? Luca and Arjoyita explain why traditional, deterministic security methods fail in the face of the non-deterministic, complex nature of Large Language Models (LLMs) and intelligent AI agents.

Key takeaways in this video:
🔹 The evolution of AI applications from basic input/output chatbots to sophisticated systems using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and tool-calling capabilities.
🔹 Why frontier model safety guardrails built by providers like OpenAI or Anthropic are not enough to protect custom enterprise use cases.
🔹 How the A10 AI Firewall utilizes a single, unified semantic reasoning model to intercept and evaluate the true intent of prompts to stop zero-day exploits, prompt injections, and jailbreak attempts.
🔹 The A10 AI Firewall offers dual deployment options: hardware integration via Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) and a software-only implementation as Kubernetes pods within a VPC or on-prem environment.
🔹 How the firewall achieves an impressive 95% threat-detection accuracy with a false-positive rate of less than 3% to ensure total protection without disrupting the user experience.

If your organization is building or deploying AI-powered applications, this conversation offers critical insights into securing your data, preserving user experience, and enforcing custom security policies tailored to your specific industry compliance standards.
