Securing Businesses with Accuracy and Precision
A10 Networks offers several product solutions, as follows:
A10 AI Firewall: This is a guardrail solution to protect LLMs and AI applications from AI-native threats, with custom policy enforcement, built-in governance, and in-depth visibility. It helps to adopt and scale AI with confidence, being deployable as a Kubernetes-native solution, on-premises or in the cloud, and scaling automatically with GPU acceleration. It enables inspecting large prompts from AI agents or RAG workflows with long-context support, while ensuring continuous protection.
A10 AI firewall also helps protect against AI-native threats by achieving high detection accuracy with minimal false positives using a dual-layer inspection engine that analyzes both pattern and intent. Customers can detect OWASP Top 10 LLM threats in real time while identifying multiple risks within a single prompt. At the same time, they can also gain observability and access control, comprising full visibility into AI interactions with detailed audit trails, enforce policies by users, applications, or risk level, and strengthen governance with insights mapped to OWASP, NIST, and MITRE frameworks. Among its key features are cloud-native Kubernetes deployment, real-time visibility, robust threat detection, granular policy control, AI traffic monitoring and blocking, and exceptionally low latency at scale.
ThreatX by A10 Networks: It offers web application protection across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. ThreatX is one unified solution that can cohesively protect customers’ application ecosystem against attacks and attackers. As an integrated web application protection platform that deploys in hours, fits into the existing infrastructure, and accurately protects the application ecosystem, it offers efficiency without compromise.
ThreatX also empowers security teams by simplifying operations with intuitive dashboards and a managed SOC, which significantly reduces false positives. Customers can also eliminate uncertainty through ThreatX’s Hacker Mind-powered transaction or entity-based tracking, battle-tested ML algorithms, and cross-vector correlation, which generates an adaptive risk score that is validated by the ThreatX SOC for dynamic real-time protection. Key features include a unified platform, managed SOC, API protection, bot protection, web application firewall, and Layer 7 DDoS protection.
