Problem
Large language models (LLMs) are vulnerable to novel security threats, including prompt attacks, data loss, and the generation of inappropriate content, which existing security tools often fail to address. These vulnerabilities can lead to compliance violations, data breaches, and reputational damage for enterprises deploying GenAI applications.
Solution
Lakera AI provides a real-time security platform designed to protect enterprises from emerging GenAI security threats. Lakera Guard, its core product, is a low-latency AI application firewall that integrates with existing AI infrastructure to detect and block prompt attacks, prevent data leakage of PII, and ensure content safety. The platform uses continuously evolving threat intelligence, informed by a proprietary database of real-world vulnerabilities and insights from the Gandalf AI red-teaming community. Lakera's context-aware approach minimizes latency while providing precise threat detection across multiple languages and AI models.
Target Audience
Lakera AI targets security teams, product teams, and LLM builders who need to secure their GenAI applications and ensure compliance with AI security frameworks.
