About Mindgard

 

Mindgard is a UK-based startup offering an automated platform for continuous red teaming and remediation of AI vulnerabilities so that enterprise security teams can deploy different AI use cases. The company’s focus is on providing organizations with the tools and expertise needed to securely adopt and deploy AI, harnessing its competitive advantages. With innovative products, top talent, and industry-leading research, Mindgard is well-positioned to become the go-to platform for enterprise AI security.

Mindgard’s primary product—born from eight years of rigorous R&D in AI security—offers an automated platform for comprehensive security testing, red teaming, and rapid threat detection and response. In addition, Mindgard AI Security Labs is a free tool that allows engineers to penetration test their AI, GenAI, and LLMs. This tool automates threat discovery, quickly provides risk assessments, and offers guidance on remediating model vulnerabilities before deployment. Making this tool freely available is part of Mindgard’s mission to educate the AI community about the real threats to AI security.

Founded in 2022 at the world-renowned Lancaster University and now based in London, UK, Mindgard has since secured over £3 million in seed funding, built its product platform, brought in a leadership team, and assembled a world-class group of AI security experts and researchers. Mindgard’s driving mission is to solve the critical cybersecurity challenges surrounding AI, enabling the secure and robust deployment of AI technology across all sectors.

The Mindgard team believes strongly in a defense-in-depth approach, utilizing multiple layers of security controls to protect systems and data. This includes robust access controls, encryption, network segmentation, threat monitoring, and regular security testing. Mindgard also stays on top of the latest threat intelligence to proactively identify and mitigate emerging risks. While the specific tools may vary, it’s really the holistic strategy and vigilance that are key.
