Glossary Terms

Inline enforcement

Evaluating and deciding on an action before it executes, out-of-band, rather than detecting it after the fact. Fail posture (open or closed) is set per surface.

Just-in-time (JIT) access

Issuing short-lived, task-scoped credentials on demand that expire when the work is done: eliminating standing access there's nothing to leak or over-grant.

LLM firewall

A checkpoint in front of a model that inspects prompts and responses for injection, sensitive data, and unsafe content. It guards the model's edge, not the agent's actions behind it.

LLM security tools

The stack that protects LLM applications: input/output filters, firewalls and gateways, runtime enforcement, red teaming, and observability. No single tool covers all five.

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

An open protocol that connects agents to external tools and data. Powerful for capability. But every connection is a new access path that has to be governed.

MCP Gateway

A governed checkpoint every tool connection passes through (authenticated, policy-checked, and logged) so credentials stay central and unapproved servers can't connect.
