# Getting Started
Aiceberg Guardian via ICAP is a network-level AI safety- & security solution that allows organizations to monitor and control AI traffic without the need for application level integration. Guardian uses ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol), directly connecting to your proxy or firewall.
It operates inline with existing enterprise proxies or firewalls to inspect AI requests and responses in real time, covering tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Salesforce Agentforce, and other LLM services from a single deployment.
Aiceberg enables organizations to apply the same controls they would have when using AI APIs directly, but without forcing every application to integrate with those APIs.
Key benefits:
* API-equivalent controls for inspection, policy enforcement, and governance
* No SDKs or per-app integrations
* Centralized control across all AI assistants
* Real-time visibility into prompts and responses
* Seamless integration into exisiting proxies and firewalls.
This allows teams to safely adopt AI at scale while maintaining consistent security, compliance, and control—regardless of how or where AI is used.
