Company mission
To enable enterprises to focus on building the most exciting AI applications securely by protecting them in the world of AI cyber risk.
Our take
Lakera is a real-time Generative AI (GenAI) security company protecting businesses from AI-specific risks. Its flagship platform, Gandalf, serves as the world's largest AI red team with over 250,000 unique users globally, including major clients like Microsoft.
Gandalf generates a real-time database of AI threats, growing by hundreds of thousands of new attacks daily, ensuring continuous protection for Lakera's customers. The demand for Lakera's platform is rising as businesses worldwide scramble to harness the power of GenAI without exposing themselves to associated risks.
Recently securing substantial funding, Lakera is ready to invest further into product development as well as expand its presence in the US, particularly in Silicon Valley. This positions Lakera well for a future of growth and leadership within the advanced AI security solution market.
