Aporia

Aporia, recently acquired by Coralogix, is a comprehensive platform designed to deliver secure, reliable, and trustworthy AI for enterprises. It provides state-of-the-art Guardrails and Observability for any AI workload, specializing in securing Generative AI and Large Language Model (LLM) applications. Aporia empowers organizations to deploy AI with confidence by mitigating risks such as hallucinations, prompt injection attacks, data leakage, and toxic content, ensuring that AI behavior aligns with business policies and brand values.

The platform is built for seamless integration and high performance. It uses a unique multiSLM (multiple Small Language Models) Detection Engine instead of a single large LLM, which allows it to achieve exceptional accuracy and speed with minimal latency and cost. This ensures that the user experience of the protected AI application remains smooth and unaffected. Aporia is designed to fit directly into existing workflows, integrating with various infrastructures and AI gateways like Vertex AI, Portkey, Litellm, and Cloudflare.

How to use Aporia

Implementing Aporia to safeguard your AI is a straightforward, four-step process that can be completed in minutes:

1. Customize: Begin by selecting policies from Aporia's extensive catalog or create your own custom policies tailored to your specific needs. You can configure sensitivity levels for each policy and decide on the real-time action to be taken when a policy is violated, such as logging the event, warning the user, rephrasing the output, or completely overriding the response.
2. Test & Tune: Utilize the live sandbox environment to test your AI agent's behavior against the configured policies. This allows you to fine-tune each policy's sensitivity and actions using pre-configured examples or your own test cases until you achieve the desired behavior, ensuring accuracy before deployment.
3. Detect & Intercept: Once you are satisfied with the policy configurations, you can activate them with a single click. Aporia immediately begins safeguarding your live AI product, intercepting and managing prompts and responses in real-time according to your rules.
4. Oversee: Monitor the performance and security of your AI through a comprehensive dashboard. Review live logs of policy violations, the actions taken, and gain statistical insights into your AI and user behavior through the Session Explorer. This provides full transparency and continuous control over your AI systems.
