Lumen: AI Firewall Appliance (AFA) for Secure API Intelligence Auto build, deploy, and secure A2A agents—sharing insights, not data. Integrate Lumen AFA with API Gateways, ALBs, and WAFs.
Provide a public URL to your API specification. We'll send the API-to-AI agent assessment report.
Point Lumen to your API spec — auto-generates A2A agent endpoints. Ready in minutes..
AI processing runs in your VPC. Only derived insights leave. Differential privacy, watermarking, expiry policies.
Configure prompts, tools, and logic via intuitive UI. No deep AI expertise required.
Role-based access, audit trails, kill switch, geo-fencing, rate limiting, bias detection. Full control for IT.
Built-in support for emerging AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol) and ACP (Agent Commerce Protocol) standards. Prepare for secure agent-led transactions and micropayments.
OAuth/JWT, HIPAA/GDPR-ready, auto-scaling, Helm/Terraform. Runs in your cloud. No outbound calls.
Lumen seamlessly integrates with leading API Gateways to read and auto-generate secure A2A agents from API definitions. Supported gateways include Kong Gateway, Google Apigee, AWS API Gateway, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, Microsoft Azure API Management, IBM API Connect, WSO2 API Manager, Tyk, Axway Amplify, and Akana. It supports standard API definition formats such as OpenAPI (Swagger), YAML, JSON, and RAML.
1
Deploy as a VM or container in your cloud or on-prem. Point ingress from your API gateway/ALB/WAF.
2
Import OpenAPI specs. Lumen converts endpoints into A2A agents.
3
Apply PII protection, scope, and geo-fences. All answers are redacted, signed, and fully auditable.
4
Replace exports with answer objects: aggregates, summaries, and citations instead of raw tables and files.
5
AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, or on-prem. Keep everything inside your VPC. No outbound calls to Backflipt.
6
POET console for prompts, tools, and policies with role-based access, secrets management, and audit logs.
| Control | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency Kill Switch | Revoke agent access in <3s via UI or API | Instant risk mitigation |
| Prompt Filtering | NeMo Guardrails blocks malicious prompts | Prevents data extraction |
| Differential Privacy | Calibrated noise in outputs | GDPR/HIPAA compliance |
| Geo-Fencing | Region-specific output rules | Avoids regulatory fines |
| Audit Trails | Real-time logs of queries/responses | Rapid incident response |
Risk: LOBs pull raw ITSM data (e.g., ticket histories with PII) via APIs/MCP to fuel ungoverned LLMs for decision-making, leading to data leakage, IP loss, and compliance breaches averaging $4.88M—with shadow AI contributing to 20% of incidents.
A2A Solution: Lumen deploys governed A2A agents atop ITSM APIs to process queries internally, sharing only anonymized insights and summaries. No raw data is exposed, ensuring traceability and compliance.

Risk: EHR data pulled via MCP for trial matching leaks PII — HIPAA fines exceed $50K per violation, with 1 in 3 breaches from AI misuse.
A2A Solution: Lumen powers trial matching agents that return eligibility reports only — never raw records. Full audit trail included.

Risk: Proprietary TAM models are extracted and used to train public LLMs — research firms lose competitive edge and upsell revenue.
A2A Solution: Lumen enables modeling agents to compute forecasts internally and deliver insights only — monetize per query.

Risk: Fraud models trained on raw transaction data are exposed via APIs — competitors reverse-engineer strategies, and breaches cost $5.9M on average.
A2A Solution: Lumen enables fraud scoring agents to run internally and share only risk scores. No raw data leaves the VPC.

|---|---|---|---|
| Speed to Market | Minutes via Helm/Terraform | Months of dev | Moderate |
| Governance | Built-in RBAC, audits | Manual | Partial |
| Ease for Admins | POET console, no-code config | Requires coding | Variable |
| Monetization | AP2-ready, 2–3x revenue | None | Limited |
Lumen deploys in your cloud or on-prem (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes). No data leaves your VPC. No outbound calls to Backflipt.
No. The POET console lets IT admins configure prompts, tools, and policies. Auto-generated logic from your API spec.
Yes. Differential privacy, geo-fencing, audit trails, and data expiry are built-in. All processing stays in your environment.
Absolutely. Charge per insight via AP2/ACP. Clients pay $0.10+ per fraud score, forecast, or route — not $0.01 per API call.
Lumen is vendor-led, external-facing: an installable AI firewall appliance that transforms your APIs into monetizable A2A agents under IT control. Internal tools focus on employee productivity.
