Lakera

Lakera provides an AI-native security platform specifically designed to protect enterprise generative AI (GenAI) applications, AI agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations. The platform operates as a real-time guardrail system that monitors and controls what AI models can access and what actions they are allowed to perform, going beyond simple access restrictions to enforce behavioral boundaries. It is built to accelerate the safe deployment of GenAI initiatives by offering sub-50 millisecond runtime latency, enabling security checks to be applied without noticeable performance degradation in production workflows. The platform learns from a community of over one million ethical hackers and security researchers worldwide, continuously updating its detection models to identify emerging threats such as prompt injections, jailbreak attempts, data exfiltration, and unintended model behaviors. It supports observation and analysis across more than 100 natural languages in real time, making it suitable for global enterprises with multilingual AI deployments. Lakera’s core technology is backed by one of the world’s largest AI red teams, which actively probes for vulnerabilities and feeds findings back into the platform’s detection engine. This enables the system to adapt to new attack vectors faster than traditional security tools that rely on static rules. The platform is cloud-native and designed to integrate into existing CI/CD pipelines, API gateways, and model hosting environments, allowing security teams to enforce policies without modifying the underlying AI models. Customers include Fortune 500 companies across finance, healthcare, technology, and other regulated industries, who use Lakera to accelerate their GenAI adoption while meeting compliance requiremen
