# AI Model Security

## Overview

Akto lets you seamlessly import AI models like **Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, Llama, Grok**, or even your **custom model** into **AI Model Security**. With just your model’s endpoint URL and optional authentication, you can start monitoring and scanning instantly.
