LLM Gateway: secure AI and your data (without blocking teams)
An LLM Gateway is not just another proxy: it’s where you enforce governance, security, and observability on AI usage—right inside your workflows.
When AI lands in organizations, the risk is not “having a chatbot”. The risk is letting LLM calls spread without control, without audit, and with sensitive data leaving your boundaries.
An LLM Gateway answers one question: how do you industrialize AI usage inside workflows (DevSecOps, run, delivery) while keeping control?
1) Centralize LLM calls to standardize
Without a gateway, each tool integrates its own provider, keys, logging, and limits—leading to duplication and blind spots.
With a gateway you get:
- one entry point,
- multi-model routing (OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini/Azure OpenAI…),
- quotas per team/product,
- usable audit logs.
2) Enforce governance in the flow
Governance works when it’s by design:
- redaction / masking (PII, secrets),
- allow/deny lists per model,
- policies per context (environment, product, role),
- prompt guardrails (length, injection patterns, allowed sources).
3) Measure: cost, risk, adoption
The gateway becomes a metronome:
- consumption (tokens),
- quality (p95 latency, errors),
- risk surface (exfiltration, sensitive content),
- adoption by workflow.
Conclusion
In Argy, the LLM Gateway is a platform capability: it integrates with modules, audit, and quotas—so AI is an accelerator, not a gray area.
