Lakera is an AI security company building runtime defenses for generative AI applications. Its flagship Lakera Guard API screens prompts and responses for prompt injection, jailbreaks, PII leakage, unsafe content, and policy violations, while Lakera Red provides automated red teaming and risk assessment for GenAI systems. Lakera follows an API-first architecture with a managed SaaS platform, regional endpoints, self-hosted deployments for regulated environments, and a free Gandalf training game that has driven much of the prompt injection research community.
