The honest brief

Lakera

Detection models trained on 80M+ real adversarial prompts from its viral Gandalf game; sub-50ms inline latency.

  • Detection sharpened by the Gandalf game
  • Low sub-50ms latency, inline-friendly
  • Covers injection, jailbreaks, PII, data loss
  • Model-agnostic API in front of any LLM
  • Behavioral detection risks false positives
  • Core product is closed source
  • Enterprise pricing quoted by sales

Protect AI

Secures the whole ML supply chain from model selection to runtime, and stewards the OSS ModelScan tool the field relies on.

  • Covers full AI/ML lifecycle
  • Model scanning for serialization attacks
  • Adds AI red teaming and posture management
  • Now part of Palo Alto Prisma AIRS
  • Enterprise, paid-only
  • Roadmap folding into Prisma AIRS
  • Broad scope, longer to deploy
