description: 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.

  description: Lakera Guard is a low-latency screening API that inspects text content sent to or from LLMs and flags threats
    including prompt injection, jailbreaks, PII, profanity, and policy violations. The /guard endpoint returns a flagged
    decision plus optional detector breakdowns via /guard/results, and the platform exposes /policies and /projects endpoints
    for managing detection logic. Available as a managed SaaS at api.lakera.ai/v2 with regional endpoints (US, EU, APAC)
    and as a self-hosted deployment for regulated environments.

  description: Lakera Red is an automated red teaming product that probes GenAI applications for jailbreaks, prompt injection,
    data leakage, and other adversarial failures, then produces a risk-based remediation report. Designed for security teams
    evaluating AI applications prior to production deployment and for ongoing assurance of agentic systems.

  description: Gandalf is Lakera's free interactive game that teaches prompt injection by challenging players to extract
    a secret from an LLM across progressively harder defenses. It has become a primary research and training environment
    for the prompt injection community and a public funnel into the Lakera Guard ecosystem.
