description: Protect AI is an AI/ML security platform (now part of Palo Alto Networks) whose products secure the AI lifecycle
  from model selection to runtime. Its developer surface centers on LLM Guard, an open-source Python toolkit of prompt and
  output scanners that ships a self-hostable REST API for real-time input/output sanitization. Commercial products - Guardian
  (model scanning), Recon (LLM red-teaming), and Layer (runtime protection) - are delivered through a portal under sales-led
  terms.
