About AIShield

AIShield provides security for AI/ML models and GenAI applications, addressing vulnerabilities like prompt injections, jailbreaks and data leaks. AIShield is a full-stack security product, based on technical research over four years and over 45 patents, that defends AI-based application workloads across on-prem, cloud and edge environments. AISpectra is designed to keep AI/ML models and LLM applications secure throughout development. AISpectra covers AI models and LLM applications at every stage, from development to testing and training. AIShield Guardian is designed to provide real-time security to live AI/ML and Generative AI applications.[2][3][4][6][8][10]

AIShield states that traditional security measures fail to address AI-specific risks like adversarial attacks and data leakage. AIShield states that after deployment, the lack of an AI Firewall and real-time monitoring leaves AI models and LLM applications vulnerable to threats including prompt injection and data leakages. Guardian offers protection for deployments of LLM-powered chatbots, algorithmic trading models and AI-driven automation systems.[4]

AISpectra automates model and notebook discovery and performs vulnerability assessments for AI supply chain security. AISpectra is an AI model scanner that provides discovery and vulnerability assessment for AI systems. AISpectra scans repositories to identify models, notebooks and artifacts.
