| description.long | 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. | A suite of input/output moderation models and security evaluation benchmarks designed to help developers build safer generative AI applications. Includes tools to detect prompt injection, jailbreaking attempts, and other violating content. |
