| **Vioscale score** | 59.4 (21% (low)) | 48.3 (55% (medium)) |
| deployment.options | `{"cloud":true,"hybrid":true,"on_prem":true}` | `{"cloud":true,"self_hosted":true}` |
| description.long | A security platform that discovers AI assets, validates model supply chains against vulnerabilities and backdoors, simulates adversarial attacks on AI systems, and enforces runtime protections against inference attacks, model extraction, and model theft without requiring access to proprietary model data. | A cloud-native security platform designed for AI applications that intercepts both user inputs and model outputs to detect and prevent prompt injections, data leakage, jailbreaks, and compliance violations before they reach the LLM. |
