NeuralTrust TrustGate
Open-source AI gateway focused on attack protection and abuse control
AI security gatewayResearch complete
Company overview
NeuralTrust's TrustGate is an AI gateway focused on prompt-attack protection, PII redaction, API abuse controls, semantic caching, token policies and observability, with the gateway published on GitHub.
Ideal customer: Teams that require source-available security tooling and self-hosted deployment
- Blocking prompt attacks at the gateway
- Redacting personal data in AI traffic
- Applying token policies and abuse controls
GateYourAI verdict
TrustGate's open repository makes it unusually verifiable for a security product: claims can be checked against code rather than marketing copy. That verification work is queued and we publish capability marks only once completed.
Best for: Security-minded teams that want an open-source gateway they can inspect and run. Read how we assess platforms.
Security capabilities
A capability is marked available only when an official page or documentation says so. “Not publicly documented” means we could not find it — not that the vendor lacks it.

Cost-optimization capabilities
Token reduction, avoided calls, cheaper-model routing, budgets and reporting are tracked separately because they are not interchangeable.
