AI Security Runtime · Open-core

The security runtime for every prompt, tool call, and model your AI touches.

A drop-in proxy and self-hostable engine that observes, protects, and governs your AI agents — with a signed, queryable trace behind every verdict. Full OWASP LLM Top 10 coverage. The open alternative to Lakera, Protect AI, and HiddenLayer.

How it works

It sits in your path.

Swap one base URL and ShieldBot scans, forwards, and signs every request — in under 100ms. The same engine runs in our cloud, on your servers, or fully air-gapped.

Platform

One runtime. The whole lifecycle.

Discover, scan, red-team, guard, and govern your AI — without stitching four products together.

Runtime guardrails in the request path — under 100ms.

Drop-in proxy
Anthropic + OpenAI · <100ms

Swap one base URL. Scan, forward, and trace every request.

Threat blocking
injection · PII · secrets · URLs

Jailbreaks, leaks, malicious URLs, and poisoned models — caught at runtime.

Per-key policy
block · warn · redact · off

Per-key enforcement modes and spend budgets.

Multimodal scan
text · image · audio · PDF · MCP

The same engine across every modality and multi-turn transcripts.

3-way ensemble
Claude · OpenAI-mod · heuristic

A majority vote for high-confidence verdicts on borderline input.

Threat intel
8 live feeds

Pre-flight URLs, IPs, and file hashes against live feeds.

Tenant isolation
cross-tenant leak · LLM06

Flag and redact output that leaks another tenant's data.

Tool-call validation
excessive agency · LLM08

Audit agent and MCP tool calls for blast radius before they run.

Observe

Every prompt — signed, queryable, explainable.

Filter, search, and export a complete record of every scan and proxied call, with the exact evidence behind each verdict. An auto-built AI-BOM keeps an inventory of every app, agent, MCP server, and model you run.

Try it — paste anything

no signup, rate-limited
Try it live — these hit the production API

Audit an MCP server

Paste the server's tools list — we flag destructive actions, shell-exec, hidden exfil instructions in descriptions, permission overreach.

Check a URL or IP

Looked up against three free feeds (URLhaus + OpenPhish + FireHOL Level 1, ~17k entries, refreshed every 6 h). Use as a pre-flight before letting a model fetch a URL.

Red-team

Attack yourself, before they do.

One command fires the OWASP LLM Top 10 attack corpus at your configuration and scores your posture — mapped to OWASP and MITRE ATLAS, every finding drillable to its trace.

Model scan

Catch supply-chain threats before they load.

Drop a checkpoint or a HuggingFace URL and ShieldBot disassembles it for pickle and ONNX exploits — arbitrary-code-execution payloads that fire the moment a model loads. Every scan emits an AI-BOM.

npx shieldbot scan model ./model.pkl
Govern

No-code policy you can simulate first.

Toggle detectors, dial an L1–L4 sensitivity slider, and add your own regex, keyword, and moderation rules. Then replay 30 days of real traffic to see the impact before it ships.

Operate

Audit-ready by default.

The enterprise plumbing security teams expect — identity, integrations, and evidence — with nothing to assemble.

Keys & BYOK
AES-256-GCM

Scoped API keys with budgets; bring your own model keys, encrypted at rest.
