Lakera
Prompt-injection guardrails and AI red teaming, now part of Check Point
Overview
Lakera is a Zurich AI-security company whose Guard API screens LLM prompts and outputs for prompt injection, jailbreaks, system-prompt extraction and data leakage, alongside the Lakera Red red-teaming service and the Gandalf prompt-attack game. Check Point Software completed its acquisition of Lakera on 22 October 2025 and now sells the products as AI Agent Security and AI Red Teaming. A free Community plan covers 10,000 requests a month.

Use cases
What you can produce with Lakera
- Every user prompt screened through the Guard API, with direct and indirect prompt-injection and jailbreak attempts flagged before they reach the model
- System-prompt extraction and data-leakage attempts caught in model inputs and outputs
- PII and harmful content flagged so an application can redact or refuse
- Detection across more than 100 languages, plus audio inputs
- An inventory and risk rating of agents built on Bedrock, Copilot Studio, Agentforce and n8n (early access)
- A pre-launch red-team assessment of an LLM application with Lakera Red
- Prompt-attack skills practised on Lakera's free Agent Breaker game
Lakera remains one of the best-known runtime guardrails for LLM applications: one API call screens prompts and outputs for prompt injection, jailbreaks and data leakage across more than 100 languages, and a free Community plan of 10,000 requests a month makes it easy to test. Its accuracy and latency figures are vendor claims, so measure false positives on your own traffic before blocking users.
Since October 2025 it has been part of Check Point, which shows in the branding, the docs and the enterprise sales route. A natural fit for organisations already on Check Point; smaller teams should watch how the free tier fares inside a large security vendor.
What we found
Lakera is a Zurich AI-security company that has belonged to Check Point Software since October 2025. Check Point announced the agreement on 16 September 2025 and closed it on 22 October; its 2025 annual report on Form 20-F puts the total consideration at about $201.8 million. Earlier versions of this page repeated a press estimate of around $300 million. The lakera.ai site now carries a Check Point copyright line, its About link redirects to Check Point, and the developer documentation is branded Check Point AI Security.
The products have been renamed along the way. What launched as Lakera Guard, an API that screens prompts and model outputs for prompt injection, jailbreaks, system-prompt extraction, data leakage and harmful content, is now marketed as AI Agent Security with an AI Guardrails dashboard, though developers still call the Guard API. Lakera Red covers red teaming, Workforce AI Security watches how employees use AI tools, and a June 2026 early-access release added discovery and risk ratings for agents built on Amazon Bedrock, Copilot Studio, Agentforce, n8n and other platforms. Lakera's own figures are coverage of more than 100 languages, sub-50ms latency and a 0.01% production false-positive rate, and Check Point's announcement cited detection above 98%; none has been benchmarked by a third party here. Dropbox is quoted on the homepage as a customer.
Gandalf, the password-extraction game that made Lakera known, supplied what Check Point calls 80 million-plus adversarial patterns for the detectors. The old gandalf.lakera.ai address now redirects to Agent Breaker, a newer game built around hackable mock AI apps.
Pricing has two tiers. The free Community plan gives 10,000 requests a month, prompts up to 8,000 tokens, SaaS hosting in the EU and community support. Enterprise is quoted and adds self-hosting, SSO, role-based access, SIEM integration and EU or US data residency. ASEAN teams can start free; larger buyers will be negotiating with Check Point.
