Summary
Traditional firewalls cannot properly monitor AI-related network traffic because prompts, file uploads, and model calls look like ordinary web traffic, making it impossible to detect if sensitive data is being exposed or if an AI system is being attacked through prompt injection (tricking an AI by hiding malicious instructions in its input). Check Point has created an AI Network Firewall specifically designed to understand and protect these new types of AI connections.
