OUR STORY
You could say we wrote the first chapter of AI security.
Our founders created LLM Guard: the most widely adopted open-source LLM firewall in existence. Then took it to market, securing AI deployments across Fortune 500 enterprises at scale.
Then enterprise AI grew up.
Chatbots became agents. And agents don't just respond. They act.
Pretty soon, agents sprawled across developer laptops, connected to source code, pipelines, production systems. Executing autonomously. Nobody watching.
An expanding supply chain made it worse.
MCP servers, plugins, third-party skills, tool integrations. None of it inspected, none of it governed. The risk had very little to do with prompts going in or responses coming out.
It became obvious: the security layer had to live at runtime.
Because the risk isn't in what agents say. It's in what they do.
So we built Manifold.
AI Detection and Response, purpose-built for the agentic enterprise.
