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.

Mission drift

When a non-deterministic agent gradually diverges from its intended task. Tracked at runtime so it can be contained before consequences land.

Non-human identity (NHI)

Identities belonging to machines, services, and agents rather than people. Agents are the fastest-growing and least-governed class of NHI.

On-behalf-of (OBO) chain

The unbroken provenance recorded on a credential (who authorized the action, what scope was granted, and how deep the delegation goes) so an audit walks back to a human.

Prompt injection

An attack that manipulates an agent through crafted input (in a prompt, a tool result, or retrieved content) to make it act against policy.
