Mindgard Launches Revolutionary DAST-AI Platform to Secure AI Systems
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, safeguarding artificial intelligence (AI) systems is becoming more crucial than ever. That’s where Mindgard steps in with its groundbreaking DAST-AI platform—an innovative solution that addresses AI-specific vulnerabilities in real-time. Say goodbye to lengthy testing periods; this cutting-edge platform reduces security assessments from months to mere minutes.
Understanding the New AI Risks
As per the OWASP’s 2025 Top 10 Risks for Large Language Models (LLMs), the call for specialized AI security measures is urgent. The report highlights several pressing issues, including System Prompt Leakage, which was linked to over 30 data breaches in 2024 alone. Alongside this, resource mismanagement added a staggering 15% to the operational costs of LLMs last year, and attacks targeting embedding pipelines like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) surged by 40%.
These trends underscore a larger issue: the evolution of security risks in the AI realm. Concerns such as Unbounded Consumption, which ties directly to operational cost spikes, as well as excessive autonomy in AI systems and embedding vulnerabilities, illustrate the need for proactive strategies like those offered by Mindgard.
Voices from the Frontline
Dr. Peter Garraghan, CEO and co-founder of Mindgard, emphasizes the importance of understanding these challenges. "OWASP’s guide is immensely helpful for organizations aiming to navigate the complex world of LLMs and generative AI security solutions," he states. "Security can no longer be an afterthought, especially when these systems handle sensitive data and critical business operations. Continuous testing, like Mindgard’s DAST-AI, is essential to uncover vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Our platform equips organizations with effective tools to secure their AI ecosystems at scale."
A Pioneer in AI Security
Mindgard’s reputation as a leader in AI security has been solidified by its endorsement in the OWASP guide. Founded in a premier UK university lab and backed by over a decade of rigorous research, Mindgard’s platforms are crafted by a PhD-led team that specializes in a multitude of AI attack scenarios. With comprehensive model coverage that spans LLMs, image, audio, and multimodal systems, Mindgard ensures users receive robust protection against the increasingly complex threat landscape.
What’s Next for AI Security?
As we continue to embrace AI in our personal and professional lives, the responsibility for securing these systems falls on all of us. Imagine the vastly improved efficiency and reliability that could come from tools that not only protect but also enhance our AI capabilities. The future looks promising, and companies like Mindgard are leading the charge.
