Arbitex vs AI Security Tools
AI security vendors inspect content and block threats. Arbitex adds routing, cost governance, and policy enforcement — governance in one product, not a layer bolted onto another vendor's gateway.

| Real-time enforcement | |||
| Single integration point |
- Prompt Security's policy engine (partial) covers content inspection rules but not routing or cost policy.
- Calypso AI's policy engine (partial) focuses on access controls and compliance documentation, not routing or cost governance.
- Calypso AI's Hybrid Outpost (partial) reflects a strong on-premises story, particularly in defense and government environments, but without a SaaS control plane — the buyer owns the full operations burden.
Where Arbitex Excels
- Convergence replaces the two-vendor problem. Security tools inspect content but do not route traffic. That means the organization still needs a separate gateway for routing, cost controls, and model management. Two vendors, two integration points, two audit trails that do not share context. Arbitex replaces both with a single product.
- Single integration point. One base URL. Every AI request — routed, inspected, and policy-enforced — through one gateway. No split ownership between the engineering team's routing layer and the security team's inspection layer.
- Routing and cost governance included. Arbitex handles multi-model routing, load balancing, failover, and per-team cost caps alongside DLP inspection and policy enforcement. Security tools require a separate routing layer to deliver these capabilities.
- Hybrid Outpost deployment. Data plane in your VPC. Control plane SaaS-hosted. Data never leaves your environment, and there is no self-managed operations burden. For regulated industries, this means data residency requirements are met without sacrificing managed infrastructure.
Where Security Tools Fit
AI security vendors address a real category of risk, and security teams that evaluate them are asking the right questions.
Prompt Security
Prompt Security has invested deeply in LLM-specific threat modeling. Prompt injection detection, jailbreak defense, and PII inspection are genuine strengths. For organizations that already have a routing layer and need content inspection, Prompt Security is a credible vendor with strong CISO alignment.
Calypso AI
Calypso AI has established credibility in defense, government, and FedRAMP environments. Their access control granularity and compliance documentation reflect what enterprise security teams require in formal procurement cycles.
The question is architectural. Deploying a security tool alongside a separate routing gateway means two systems, two policy surfaces, and two audit trails. When a request is flagged, which system is the system of record? Arbitex removes that seam by putting routing, inspection, and enforcement in a single pipeline.
One product. Complete governance.
