Secure tunnel access to remote client resources for artificial intelligence agents

Abstract

Systems are disclosed for enabling secure cloud connections between artificial intelligence ('AI') agents and client resources. A cloud connector executing at a client establishes an authenticated secure tunnel with a connection manager on a connection server. An AI agent is initiated to access cloud- and client-hosted AI models or data sources. The system uses guardrails to process inputs and outputs over the secure tunnel with the client, detecting prompt injection, confidential information, or personally identifiable information. Redundant secure tunnels and load balancing can be employed to ensure availability. Modified results are transmitted to a user device for display, providing AI agents with controlled access to client resources while enforcing confidentiality, integrity, and policy compliance.
