F5 AI Gateway: Govern, Secure, Optimize AI

An AI Gateway is a centralized control plane that sits between your users, agents and AI services, providing visibility, governance, and security for all AI interactions. It lets you manage who accesses AI models, enforce security policies, and maintain full auditability across your organization's AI usage.

F5 AI Gateway provides full visibility into token consumption and model spend across teams, helping you identify inefficiencies and set usage policies. It also reduces costs through intelligent caching of repeated queries and automatic routing of requests to the most cost-effective model for each task, so you're not overpaying for simple interactions.

F5 AI Gateway inspects prompts and responses in real time, detecting and blocking sensitive data—like source code, credentials, or customer information—before it ever reaches an external AI model. This ensures your organization can adopt AI tools without risking accidental data exposure.

Yes—F5 AI Gateway is vendor-agnostic, allowing you to route traffic across multiple AI providers and models from a single control point. This gives your teams the flexibility to use the best model for each task without creating security or governance gaps.

F5 AI Gateway gives you a complete audit trail of every AI interaction across your organization, including who made requests, which models were used, what data was exchanged, and how much each interaction costs. This makes it easy to monitor adoption, track spend by team or application, enforce compliance, and investigate incidents.

F5 AI Gateway is architected for high-throughput, low-latency processing, ensuring that security checks, policy enforcement, and routing decisions don't create bottlenecks—even under heavy load. Built-in features like load balancing, failover across models, and intelligent caching help maintain performance and reliability as your AI usage grows.
