software-level risks

API gateways are crucial for managing enterprise data security and governance with AI. They act as a central control point for authentication, logging, and access control, enabling organizations to track AI tool data requests and permissions. However, gateways are network-layer defenses, like firewalls, and cannot inherently prevent software-layer vulnerabilities from LLMs or code. A holistic security strategy encompassing application and AI model integrity is essential beyond perimeter defenses to mitigate risks.
