LangChain

Connect Akto with LangChain

Overview

LangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. This setup is recommended if you want to monitor API traffic from your LangChain applications and ensure your AI-powered processes maintain security standards.

The Akto LangChain connector automatically:

• Fetches all LangChain application metadata

• Monitors LangChain executions

• Sends API traffic data to Akto for security analysis
