What Is an LLM Proxy and How Proxies Help Secure AI Models
Enterprises are increasingly exposing large language models (LLMs) through APIs, internal copilots, and partner integrations, driving AI spending to an estimated $2.022 trillion in 2026. To mitigate leakage, abuse, and runaway costs, organizations are adopting LLM proxies—runtime enforcement layers that inspect prompts, control traffic, and validate outputs before reaching model endpoints. These proxies centralize policy, generate structured telemetry, and can route high‑risk requests to stricter models. Residential proxies are also used to test defenses under realistic consumer‑grade traffic.
