Network Channels is a secure connection solution that extends the capabilities of
AI Red Teaming in two key ways:
- Private Endpoint Access—Safely access and analyze your internal endpoints
without requiring firewall rules for specific IP addresses or opening inbound
ports.
- Custom Adapter Hosting—Host and run Custom Adapters within your
infrastructure, enabling AI Red Teaming to scan enterprise AI targets that require
complex authentication, session management, or proprietary response formats.
Network channels help you achieve the following:
- Enhanced Security—No need to expose internal endpoints or modify firewall
rules.
- Complete Control—Initiate and terminate connections on demand.
- Easy Setup—Simple client installation process.
- Flexible Management—Create and manage multiple secure channels for different
environments.
- Reusability—Use the same connection for multiple targets.
- Enterprise Ready—Designed for organizations with strict security requirements.
- Secure Custom Adapter Code—Network Channels automatically provide custom adapter
code with a secure, pre-configured connection to your internal targets with no
additional firewall rules, port openings, or network configuration required.
Network Channels consists of two main components client and server:
| CLIENT | SERVER |
|---|
- It is a lightweight daemon that runs in your
infrastructure.
- It initiates and outbound webSocket connection to AI Red
Teaming servers and maintains it.
- Once websocket connection is established, it proxies the
requests from the server to your internal endpoints.
- It consumes minimal system resources.
|
- Manages WebSocket connections from client.
- Handles authentication.
- Routes requests from red teaming workers to the targets
through the established websocket connections.

Here’s what the AI Red Teaming system architecture looks like with network channel
enabled:
Network Channels Technical Flow
- Client initiates secure WebSocket connection to server.
- Server authenticates client.
- Persistent connection is established.
- AI Red Teaming services make requests through the server.
- Requests are forwarded to the client via the websocket.
- Client forwards request to target endpoint.
- Responses follow reverse path.
