Mindgard provides offensive security testing solutions specifically designed for AI systems, models, agents, and applications. The company was spun out from over a decade of AI security research at Lancaster University and is headquartered in Boston and London. Their platform enables enterprises to conduct red teaming and security assessments across the AI lifecycle, helping organizations identify vulnerabilities in their AI deployments before they can be exploited. The company applies traditional offensive security methodologies to the emerging field of AI security, testing for risks such as prompt injection, model manipulation, data poisoning, and other AI-specific attack vectors. Their approach combines automated testing capabilities with research-driven techniques to uncover security weaknesses in large language models, machine learning systems, and generative AI applications. Mindgard's team includes researchers and practitioners with backgrounds in offensive security, including expertise from organizations like the Zero Day Initiative, Pwn2Own competitions, and various cybersecurity research institutions. The company serves enterprise customers who are deploying AI systems and need to ensure these systems are secure against adversarial attacks. Their solutions help security teams validate AI model behavior, test for unintended outputs, and assess compliance with AI security frameworks and regulations.
