Exposing Real Vulnerabilities in Mission-Critical AI

AI introduces security risks that traditional tools cannot see, leaving organizations blind to how real attacks unfold in deployed AI systems. Mindgard has uncovered critical vulnerabilities across models, tools, and agentic workflows, providing clear evidence of how AI can be compromised and why visibility and enforceable controls are essential to reducing risk.

The Mindgard Platform

The Mindgard Platform starts with attacker-style reconnaissance to map the AI attack surface across models, agents, applications, and infrastructure. It evaluates AI behavior, connected tools, and exploitation paths to reveal how systems can be discovered and abused. Continuous, attacker-aligned testing feeds directly into runtime detection and response, enabling teams to validate controls, block attacks and reduce AI risk.

FAQs

Learn how Mindgard secures AI systems by applying attacker-aligned testing, continuous risk assessment, and runtime defense across models, agents, and applications.

How is Mindgard different from AI safety or content moderation tools?
AI safety tools focus on output quality and policy compliance. Mindgard focuses on security. It identifies how attackers exploit AI behavior, system interactions, and agent workflows to achieve real compromise, not just policy violations.
Can Mindgard detect shadow AI usage?
Yes. Mindgard helps identify undocumented or unmanaged AI systems by enumerating behaviors, integrations, and access paths that expose hidden AI risk across the organization.
Does Mindgard replace my security team or existing tools?
No. Mindgard extends existing security teams by providing attacker-aligned visibility and automation that would otherwise require specialized expertise. It complements AppSec, cloud security, and governance tooling rather than replacing them.
What makes Mindgard stand out from other AI security companies?
Mindgard is built on over a decade of AI security research originating at Lancaster University and grounded in offensive security methodology. Rather than evaluating models in isolation, Mindgard tests AI systems the way real attackers do, uncovering high-impact risks that emerge from behavior, system interactions, and deployment context.
How often should AI systems be tested?
AI security testing should be continuous. Changes to models, prompts, tools, data sources, or user behavior can introduce new risks at any time. Mindgard is designed to test AI systems continuously as they evolve.
Can Mindgard handle different kinds of AI models?
Yes. Mindgard is neural-network agnostic and supports generative AI, LLMs, NLP systems, vision, audio, and multi-modal models. More importantly, it secures AI systems end-to-end, including agents, tools, APIs, data sources, and workflows that models interact with in production.
How does Mindgard ensure data security and privacy?
Mindgard follows industry best practices for secure software development and operation, including use of our own platform for testing AI components. We are SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant and expect ISO 27001 certification in early 2026.
Can Mindgard work with the LLMs I use today?
Yes. Mindgard works with leading commercial and open-source LLMs and applies continuous testing across deployed models, agents, and applications. This enables teams to identify emerging risks as systems evolve, rather than relying on one-time assessments.
What types of organisations use Mindgard?
Mindgard serves a diverse range of organisations, including those in financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and cybersecurity. Any enterprise deploying AI technologies can benefit from Mindgard's platform to secure their AI assets and mitigate potential risks.
Why don't traditional AppSec tools work for AI models?
Traditional AppSec assumes deterministic behavior and known vulnerability classes. AI systems are probabilistic, adaptive, and often autonomous, with risks that emerge only at runtime. Attacks such as prompt injection, agent misuse, and behavioral manipulation exploit how AI behaves and interacts with surrounding systems, requiring an attacker-aligned, system-level security approach. This lack of visibility is reflected in industry research from Gartner showing limited enterprise insight into AI risk.
What is automated red teaming?
Automated AI red teaming uses attacker-aligned techniques to continuously test AI systems for real-world exploitation paths. Mindgard automates reconnaissance, adversarial testing, and chained attack scenarios to surface high-impact vulnerabilities with speed, scale, and repeatability.
Why is it important to test instantiated AI models?
AI systems behave differently once deployed. Interactions with users, tools, data, and workflows can introduce vulnerabilities that do not appear during development. Continuous testing of deployed systems is essential to identify emergent risk, validate controls, and maintain security over time.
What are the types of risks Mindgard uncovers?
Mindgard focuses on risks that materially impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability, including behavioral exploitation, unauthorized data access, agent misuse, guardrail bypass, prompt injection, model extraction, and attack paths that pivot into surrounding enterprise systems.

Mindgard identifies various AI security risks, including:

- Jailbreaking: Manipulating inputs to make AI systems perform unintended actions.
- Extraction: Reconstructing AI models to expose sensitive information.
- Evasion: Altering inputs to deceive AI models into incorrect outputs.
- Inversion: Reverse-engineering models to uncover training data.
- Poisoning: Tampering with training data to manipulate model behaviour.
- Prompt Injection: Inserting malicious inputs to trick AI systems into unintended responses.
