Organizations are rapidly adopting AI technologies, embedding them into production environments without full visibility into how their probabilistic and opaque behaviors introduce exploitable risk. Mindgard addresses this challenge by providing AI security solutions that help enterprises secure AI models, agents, and applications across the AI lifecycle. Spun out of more than a decade of AI security research at Lancaster University and headquartered in Boston and London, Mindgard enables organizations to identify, assess, and mitigate real-world AI threats as these systems move into production.
Mindgard’s philosophy is grounded in offensive security. Effective defenses and security controls can only be built by emulating how real attackers scope, plan, and exploit targets. Mindgard creates technologies that empower organizations to:
● Understand what attackers can learn about their AI
● Assess how attackers can exploit their AI
● Stop attackers from breaching their AI
Achieving these goals at scale is non-trivial. Mindgard has assembled an elite team of AI and offensive security experts whose research is embedded directly into the platform, allowing security teams to apply specialized AI security technology and expertise without needing to build it in-house.
