Fastly launches AI controls for model use, prompt attacks, and agent API access

· Original article ↗

Summary

Fastly introduced AI Runtime Control, AI Firewall, and expanded API Security to govern model access and spending, mitigate prompt injection, and enforce API rules for AI agents.

Key points

  • AI Runtime Control routes model calls through one endpoint, with virtual keys, usage visibility, rate limits, budget controls, and failover.
  • AI Firewall evaluates prompts in the request path to identify and block attacks such as prompt injection before they reach models.
  • Expanded API Security lets organizations observe or block requests that violate API contracts, including agent requests.
  • The launch extends Fastly’s existing edge platform and security capabilities to AI workloads.
  • Fastly says machine-generated traffic exceeded 50% of its network traffic in July and August, and AI traffic grew 6.5 times faster than human traffic from January through May.
