# Welcome

> The Prisma AIRS AI Gateway is a comprehensive platform designed to streamline and enhance AI integration for developers and organisations. It serves as a unified interface for interacting with over 3,000 AI models, offering advanced tools for control, visibility, and security in your Generative AI apps.

It takes 2 mins to integrate and with that, it starts monitoring all of your LLM requests and makes your app resilient, secure, performant, and more accurate at the same time.

### Integrate in 3 Lines of Code

### FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Will the AI Gateway increase the latency of my API requests?">
    Our benchmarks estimate a total latency addition between 20-40ms compared to direct API calls. This slight increase is often offset by the benefits of our caching and routing optimizations.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is my data secure?">
    All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption, and the gateway follows best practices for service security, data storage, and retrieval.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will the AI Gateway scale if my app explodes?">
    The gateway is built on scalable infrastructure and can handle millions of requests per minute with very high concurrency. Its scaling capabilities accommodate sudden spikes in traffic without performance degradation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the AI Gateway impose timeouts on requests?">
    No explicit timeout is imposed on requests. While the gateway does not time out requests on our end, we recommend implementing client-side timeouts appropriate for your use case to handle potential network issues or upstream API delays.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do you support SSO?">
    Yes! We support SSO with any custom OIDC provider.
