Security & Safety for the AI Age.
Risk Assessment
Our agents perform an automated attack simulation against your AI applications and agents using a comprehensive suite of security and safety checks to identify critical AI risks. Elevate your security with a one-time assessment or implement continuous testing.
Runtime Guardrails
Defend AI extends protection beyond prompt-level threats to shield AI applications and agents from a wide range of security and safety risks targeting different layers of your AI systems. Seamless integration provides automated threat blocking for risks detected by Ascend AI.

Watch our protection in action.

AI-Native Architecture

Our AI-Native Architecture enables our medley of fine-tuned models to reason across the deep context of each AI and Agent interaction, guaranteeing the most accurate detection and protection available.
App
AI application agnostic architecture allows you to pick your model, RAG systems, and infrastructure. We have you covered, with any type of AI app you build
Data Collection
Support for multiple collection methods simplifies deployment without sacrificing the deep context required for accuracy, from API/SDK to our proprietary AI sensors and log consumers for complete application & agentic context.
AI Engine
Our advanced AI engine uses MoE and Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RHLF) and reasons across signals from the complete AI application and Agent stack.
OUR ELITE STRAIKER AI RESEARCH (STAR) TEAM
Our dedicated Al security research team performs cutting-edge research on Al models and agentic applications, as well as tactics employed by adversaries.
