Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security in AWS
Prisma AIRS Runtime API integrates natively with OpenAI Codex Enterprise to enforce real-time threat prevention and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) across every developer prompt in your organization. Inspection happens at the platform level; developers experience no workflow changes, plugin installs, or latency.
When Prisma AIRS detects a threat, it sends a block verdict to OpenAI Codex before the prompt reaches the destination model or any connected MCP server.
Prerequisites
  • OpenAI Codex Enterprise account with admin access
  • Prisma AIRS management (via Strata Cloud Manager) access with permission to generate API credentials
To configure OpenAI Codex integration:
  1. Retrieve your Prisma AIRS credentials:
    1. Click AI Security > AI Runtime > API Applications:
    2. Click Manage in the upper right portion of the AI Applications page:
    3. Select API Keys.
    4. In the Manage API Keys screen, click Add New Application/API Key.
    5. Follow the onboarding work flow to generate a new API Key and endpoint URL. Copy both values; you'll use this information to configure the OpenAI Codex.
  2. Configure the OpenAI Codex:
    1. Sign in to the OpenAI Codex Enterprise admin dashboard.
    2. Locate the security or API integration settings.
    3. Paste the Prisma AIRS API key and endpoint URL into the designated fields.
    4. Save the configuration.
  3. Activate org-wide scanning in the OpenAI Codex Enterprise admin dashboard.
    Once saved, all users in Codes across your OpenAI organization are automatically routed through the Prisma AIRS Runtime API for real-time inspection. No additional action is required.
    What Gets Inspected
    Prisma AIRS scans every developer prompt before it reaches the model, covering two threat vectors:
    Data Loss Prevention
    Data Loss Prevention (DLP)Examples
    Secrets and credentialsAPI keys, passwords, tokens, private keys
    PII and financial dataPersonal identifiers, regulated data patterns
    Proprietary code and IPInternal architecture, trade secrets, custom pattern rules
    Threat and Malicious Code Detection
    Threat TypeDescription
    Malicious code patternsObfuscated scripts, dangerous command executions, known exploit patterns
    Malicious URLsPhishing domains or unverified links embedded in prompts
    Prompt manipulation attacksAdversarial inputs designed to bypass controls or alter model behavior
    How it Works
    Prisma AIRS operates as an inline security layer between the developer and the destination model:
    • The developer submits a prompt in OpenAI Codex.
    • The prompt is routed to the Prisma AIRS Runtime API for inspection.
    • If clean — the prompt is forwarded to the model as normal.
    • If a threat is detected — a block verdict is returned and the prompt is stopped before reaching the model or any MCP server.
    Developers see no difference in their normal workflow. Security teams receive centralized logs and policy enforcement across the entire engineering organization.
    Audit & Visibility
    Because inspection occurs at the administrative API layer, security teams gain:
    • Centralized policy enforcement — consistent rules applied across all users and sessions
    • Audit-ready logging — full visibility into blocked and allowed traffic
    • No per-developer configuration — governance is org-wide from a single control point
