A10 Networks has announced that they are stepping up its cybersecurity solutions game with some cool innovations dedicated to the AI and LLM industry.
As companies all over the world race to build out AI-ready data centers and applications, sure, speed/performance/efficiency will always be the major aspects yet there are equally important things as well – keeping environments secure and resilient against risks.
That’s why at Interop Tokyo 2025, A10 is planning to showcase new AI firewall features and predictive performance capabilities and these aren’t just generic security updates either – they’re specifically built to protect LLMs, whether you’re using something custom-built or based on platforms like OpenAI or Anthropic.
The firewall can sit in front of APIs or URLs that interact with these models, using a GPU-powered, edge-optimized setup to detect and stop AI-specific threats such as prompt injection or data leaks. It works by inspecting requests and responses at the prompt level, then applying policies to neutralize any suspicious activity.
On the performance side, A10’s pushing its real-time response capabilities even further by offloading heavy tasks like SSL decryption and traffic routing to free up computing power, while also acting like an early warning system for network congestion or capacity problems. That means businesses can catch performance issues before they cause real downtime, and keep everything running smoothly.
A10’s CEO, Dhrupad Trivedi, summed it up by pointing out that enterprises are moving fast to train and deploy AI models both on-prem and in the cloud, but they need tools that can handle the growing demands around latency, security, and operational complexity. With over two decades of experience in this space, A10 is positioning itself as a key player in securing and optimizing the next generation of AI infrastructure.
