Both Platforms Protect AI Workflows
Lakera Guard and Secured AI both address security concerns with LLM usage. However, they tackle different aspects of AI security—and in many cases, organizations need both.
Different Problems, Different Solutions
Primary Focus
Secured AI
Data privacy—preventing sensitive data exposure in AI interactions.
Lakera Guard
LLM security—preventing prompt injection, jailbreaks, and model manipulation.
These are complementary concerns. Most organizations need both.
What It Protects
Secured AI
Your data—PII, PHI, and confidential information sent to LLMs.
Lakera Guard
Your LLM—the model itself from adversarial inputs and attacks.
Secured AI protects data leaving; Lakera protects the model receiving.
Detection Focus
Secured AI
Sensitive data types (SSNs, credit cards, medical records, etc.).
Lakera Guard
Malicious prompt patterns, injection attempts, toxic content.
Different detection targets require different approaches.
Output Handling
Secured AI
Reveal Technology restores context in AI responses for usability.
Lakera Guard
Focuses on input filtering; less emphasis on response modification.
Secured AI addresses the response usability problem.
Security Architecture
Secured AI
Security-first design with end-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge vault, and role-based access controls for data privacy governance.
Lakera Guard
Focused on AI safety and responsible AI deployment.
Different security priorities, both important.
Better Together: A Layered Approach
For comprehensive AI security, many organizations deploy both types of solutions. Secured AI handles data privacy on the input and output side; Lakera Guard handles LLM security threats like prompt injection.
