Perihelion is a robust AI Firewall designed to sit between your users and Large Language Models (LLMs). It acts as a protective middleware, sanitizing inputs, enforcing security policies, and detecting adversarial attacks in real-time.
- Real-time Prompt Injection Detection: Identifies and blocks attempts to override system instructions (e.g., DAN, jailbreaks).
- PII/Data Leakage Protection: Scans for and redacts sensitive information like emails, phone numbers, and potential secrets.
- Policy Enforcement: Configurable rules engine to allow, block, or sanitize requests based on risk scores.
- Audit Logging: Comprehensive logs for every interaction, including latency, risk score, and triggered rules.
- Visual Dashboard: A clean web interface to monitor traffic, view blocked requests, and analyze system health.
- Core: Java 17, Spring Boot 3.2
- Frontend: HTML5, Vanilla JavaScript (No heavy frameworks)
- Build: Maven
- Containerization: Docker support included
- Java 17 or higher
- Maven 3.6+
