Onboard AI Runtime Security: API Intercept in Strata Cloud Manager
Onboard AI Runtime Security: API Intercept in Strata Cloud Manager.
This page helps you to onboard and activate your AI Runtime Security: API intercept in Strata Cloud Manager to list the scanned applications and the
threats detected in these applications.
You can monitor your AI-integrated applications, providing detailed
visibility into scanned applications and any detected threats. This helps the
security teams to implement Security-as-Code within AI-driven applications. Use this
API to ensure threat detection and real-time response, making it an integral part of
your application's security lifecycle.
On this page, you’ll:
Onboard and activate your AI Runtime Security:
API intercept account in Strata Cloud Manager.
Activate the Auth Code to:
Get an API key and the sample code template you can embed in your
application to detect threats.
Create an AI security profile to enforce security policy
rules.
To bring up the Strata Cloud Manager instance for AI Runtime Security: API intercept:
In Activate Deployment Profile, select the deployment profile with the
type AI Runtime Security: API intercept, you created in the Customer Support
Portal.
When creating a new API key, associate it with an
unused deployment profile. You can either select an existing unused
deployment profile or create a new one.
Create a new deployment
profile to create and associate a new deployment profile in Customer
Support Portal.
Choose Next.
Onboard API Account by adding your application:
Enter an Application Name.
Select the Cloud Provider that hosts your application.
Select the application Environment you want to secure with AI Runtime Security: API intercept.
Choose Next.
Create Security profile:
Enter a Security Profile Name.
Select the following protections with Allow or Block
actions:
Protection Type
Configurations
AI Model Protection
Enable Prompt Injection Detection and set
it to Allow or Block.
AI Application Protection
Enable Malicious URL Detection
Basic: Enable the Malicious URL
Detection in a prompt or AI model response and
set the action to Allow or Block.
This is to detect the predefined malicious
categories.
Advanced: Provide URL security
exceptions:
The default action
(Allow or Block) is applied to all
the predefined URL security
categories.
In the URL Security Exceptions table, you
can override the default behavior by specifying
actions for individual URL categories.
Select the plus (+) icon to add the
predefined URL categories and set an action for
each.
AI Data Protection
Enable Sensitive Data Detection
Basic: Enable sensitive DLP protection
for predefined data patterns with Allow or
Block action.
Advanced: Select the predefined or
custom DLP profile.
The
drop down list shows your custom DLP profiles and
all the DLP profiles linked to the tenant service
group (TSG) associated with your AI Runtime
Security: API intercept deployment profile.
Navigate to Manage > Configuration
> Data Loss Preventions > Data Profiles to
create a new DLP profile (Add a data
profile).
The prompts and
responses will be run against this DLP profile
attached to the AI security profile and action
(allow or block) will be taken based on the output
of the DLP profile.
Enable Database Security
Detection:
This detection is for AI
applications using genAI to generate database
queries and regulate the types of queries
generated.
Set an Allow or
Block action on the database queries
(Create, Read, Update, and Delete) to prevent
unauthorized actions.
You can use a single API key to manage
multiple AI security profiles for testing.
Latency Configuration: Define acceptable API response times by
setting a latency threshold in seconds. This threshold will determine
when API responses exceed the permissible limit, impacting how quickly
threats are detected and actions are executed. You can set the action to
Allow or Block when the latency threshold
exceeds.
Create Profile.
Input API Details:
Enter the API Key Name.
Select the Rotation period to refresh the API key.
You can use a single API key to manage
multiple AI security profiles for testing.
Generate API Key.
In Implement API:
Copy and save the API key.
Copy and save the Code Template.
This is the code snippet that you can embed in your code to implement
AI Runtime security in your application.
Choose Done.
Trigger some sync and async threat requests against your security
profile.
Use the production server base URL:
`https://service.api.aisecurity.paloaltonetworks.com` for API
calls.
curl --location 'https://service.api.aisecurity.paloaltonetworks.com/v1/scan/sync/request'

Below is a sample output with a verdict. The response indicates a
prompt injection detection with "prompt_detected.injection" set to
"true".
The API Scan Log shows you a summary of the applications scanned,
threats detected, scan ID, AI security profile ID, security profile name, AI
model name, verdict, and the action taken on the threat detected.
