DefendAI’s LLM gateway routes customer prompts to provider APIs based on tenant configuration. The following providers are sub-processors of customer prompt data under the default DefendAI-managed deployment. Customers may substitute their own credentials at any time via the Connections API or dashboard — when customer credentials are used, the provider relationship is solely between the customer and the provider.
