Introduction
Mindgard tests AI agents and systems against evolving attacks, finding, validating and fixing high-impact AI vulnerabilities. Its modules include AI recon, red teaming, assessment, runtime protection, offensive security, threat response and governance and compliance.
The company grew out of more than a decade of AI security research at Lancaster University and says its technology has identified more than 150 publicly disclosed vulnerabilities in prominent AI systems, including issues in Google’s Antigravity IDE. It integrates via APIs and CI/CD.
Before buying an AI security platform, list the AI systems you actually run, such as chatbots, internal agents and model APIs, and the attacks you care about most, like prompt injection or data leakage. Then ask Mindgard to demonstrate red-team results against one of those systems, not a generic demo.
Features
- Continuous AI red teaming: Against evolving attacks.
- AI recon: Map your AI attack surface.
- Runtime protection: Defend live systems.
- CI/CD support: Test before release.
- Governance: Policy compliance.
Pros
- Research depth: Academic and disclosure record.
Cons
- Enterprise focus: No public pricing.
Usage and Links (Example)
- Register AI endpoints or agents.
- Run red-team assessments in CI.
- Add runtime protection for production.
