- Enforce (SWG — write): push a rule into the vendor that blocks direct LLM access, forcing traffic through Inviolet.
- Observe (CASB — read): pull or receive the vendor’s egress logs so Inviolet sees bypass volume and attributes it to a user.
Read vs write
The same vendor appliance can be integrated either way, with very different cost and blast radius:
Most teams start with observe (low risk, quick visibility) and add enforce
where they want a hard block.
Vendor support
Cloudflare is the reference implementation, validated end to end (see its
page for the full setup, including everything we learned). For the other vendors,
the observe side connects via an API token today; enforce packs are
delivered per engagement — contact us to scope one.
