Network AI deployments

Pangea services like AI Guard and Redact are designed to address today’s security and data protection challenges, particularly for AI-powered and data-sensitive applications. To help organizations deploy these services in a flexible, scalable, and secure way, Pangea integrates with a variety of network AI platforms such as Kong , Portkey , CloudFlare , F5 , and Fortinet .

These platforms serve as vital infrastructure components for managing the flow of API traffic, enhancing both security and performance. They provide capabilities such as intelligent routing, real-time request inspection, and traffic load balancing, which protect services from threats like unauthorized access or malicious payloads.

By integrating with these platforms, Pangea enables organizations to deploy its services seamlessly across both SaaS and Edge environments. This approach reduces the need for custom infrastructure, allowing teams to focus on their applications while ensuring secure, high-performance access to services like AI Guard and Redact.

Why network AI deployments matter​

Network AI platforms enable scalable, secure access to Pangea services by acting as both security enforcers and traffic managers. These platforms integrate directly with Pangea’s API services through specialized plugins, providing enhanced security, routing, and API governance.

For example, Kong and Portkey offer real-time routing and service discovery capabilities, allowing customers to dynamically manage API traffic and apply security policies. CloudFlare and Fortinet enhance security with features like request inspection, DDoS protection, and data locality enforcement, ensuring compliant, secure access to Pangea’s services worldwide.

SaaS integration with network AI platforms​

In a SaaS deployment, Pangea handles all infrastructure and scaling, allowing customers to focus entirely on service usage. This model is suitable for teams that require rapid deployment with minimal operational complexity.

Network AI platforms, such as Kong and CloudFlare , provide a secure and optimized entry point for API traffic. These platforms handle critical tasks like token validation, request filtering, and load balancing. By leveraging these features, customers can ensure high availability and data protection without sacrificing performance.

Pangea services like AI Guard are available within the network AI deployment ecosystem through plugins that provide security for AI models.

When utilizing Pangea's plugins in platforms like Kong , Portkey , and CloudFlare , the platform will help manage API traffic and directly route requests to Pangea services to help with handling tasks such as filtering requests, detecting prompt injections, and blocking unauthorized access or malicious data.

Edge integration with network AI platforms​

Organizations with stricter data control or compliance needs can deploy Pangea services in an Edge environment. This model processes sensitive data within customer-managed infrastructure while Pangea’s control plane handles service updates and configurations.

Platforms such as Portkey and Fortinet play a vital role by managing API traffic between client applications and Edge-deployed Pangea services. These platforms provide dynamic routing, policy enforcement, and real-time monitoring, ensuring a consistent experience across hybrid infrastructure setups.

For example, AI Guard can be deployed at the edge, with Portkey handling request routing and applying guardrails to ensure traffic flows securely and efficiently. This reduces latency by processing data closer to its source while allowing Pangea to handle request filtering and threat detection.

Similarly, services like Redact can operate within your compliance boundaries by leveraging network platforms to maintain secure API communication without the need for complex infrastructure changes - keeping your private data in your hands alone.

To learn more about Edge deployment setup, refer to the Edge Overview. Once your Edge deployment is setup, you can integrate Pangea into your network AI deployment by following any of the below guides:

How Network AI Platforms Support Pangea Services​

Integrating Pangea services with network AI platforms like Kong , Portkey , CloudFlare , F5 , and Fortinet enables organizations to securely manage API traffic and maintain scalability across different deployment models. Each platform contributes specific capabilities to improve how customers interact with Pangea services:

These platforms allow customers to incorporate Pangea’s capabilities into their existing infrastructure, improving API security, performance, and compliance without the need for extensive rework.

Summary​

Pangea’s partnerships with network AI platforms simplify secure service deployment and scalability. By combining modern traffic management with robust protection services like AI Guard and Redact, organizations can deploy confidently across cloud and Edge environments, ensuring both performance and compliance.
