## Overview
Lakera is an AI-native security platform designed to protect enterprise teams deploying generative AI and autonomous agents. The platform focuses on runtime protection rather than just access control, preventing prompt injections, data leakage, jailbreaks, and other AI-specific attacks in real-time. It serves organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to startups seeking to accelerate their GenAI initiatives without sacrificing security.

The platform operates with sub-50ms latency and is backed by data from over 1 million hackers, enabling it to monitor over 100 languages simultaneously. Lakera offers three main product lines: Workforce AI Security for controlling employee AI usage, AI Agent Security for runtime protection of AI applications, and AI Red Teaming for vulnerability management. A potential limitation is that the platform requires integration into deployment workflows, which may necessitate development team coordination.
