Lakera Guard: real-time protection for LLMs in production
In one sentence Lakera Guard is a SaaS API that protects LLM applications from prompt injection, jailbreak, and PII leakage with sub-millisecond latency, designed for high-traffic production environments.
Deploying an LLM-based chatbot in production means exposing it to real users who, intentionally or not, can send prompts that bypass the system's safety instructions. Manual monitoring does not scale.
Lakera Guard works as a protection layer between the application and the model: every user prompt is analyzed in real time, classified by risk type, and blocked or flagged if it exceeds configured thresholds.
The declared latency is under one millisecond, making it suitable for insertion into the critical request path without degrading user experience. It supports detection of prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, and personal information leakage.
