Lakera provides security for LLM applications, addressing the growing threat of prompt injection attacks, jailbreaks, and data leakage in production AI systems. The platform is trained on the world's largest prompt injection dataset, collected through Gandalf — a public red-teaming game that has attracted millions of attack attempts.
Lakera Guard is the core product — a real-time API that screens incoming prompts and outgoing responses for security threats. It detects prompt injection attempts, jailbreak patterns, PII leakage, toxic content, and off-topic usage with under 2 milliseconds latency per request.
The platform deploys as an API proxy sitting between users and LLM providers, or integrates via SDK into application code. No access to the underlying model weights is required, making it compatible with any LLM provider including OpenAI, Anthropic, and self-hosted models.
Enterprises use Lakera to secure customer-facing chatbots, AI assistants, and agentic applications. The dashboard provides analytics on threat types, attack patterns, and blocked requests, helping security teams understand their AI threat landscape.
