With a model that blocks 97% of harmful prompts, has 95% decision accuracy, and identifies 92% of blocked prompts as potential threats, CalypsoAI leads the industry in mitigating AI risks

CalypsoAI, the leader in AI security, unveiled today at Black Hat USA 2024 that users now have access to a suite of new, industry-leading functionalities allowing them to customize their generative AI (GenAI) security measures based on what makes the most sense for their business. From rapid updates that address evolving threats in real time to new integrations and partnerships, these latest enhancements build on CalypsoAI’s cutting-edge platform and continue to deliver on its mission to secure GenAI across the enterprise—regardless of industry, model, or use case—by offering the best solution on the market.

According to research from CalypsoAI and the Everest Group, data security and privacy are among CIOs’ top concerns when it comes to generative AI, with 55% revealing it as a challenge to adoption. A significant part of this concern stems from the fact that use cases across industries, companies, and departments vary drastically. Most guardrail-like defenses are built with legacy techniques or simply not enterprise-ready, limiting effectiveness and resulting in outdated protection almost instantly. These limitations pose a significant challenge for organizations seeking to deploy and adopt GenAI while ensuring AI security can adapt to constantly evolving threats.

At the RSA Conference in May, CalypsoAI introduced its customizable GenAI Scanners, solving these major security challenges and setting a new industry standard. This game-changing technology allows organizations to create their own AI-powered scanners with simple descriptions, which CalypsoAI’s advanced LLM then transforms into a sophisticated data shield. This enables companies to address specific vulnerabilities and set detailed policies that drive the highest levels of performance. With real-time threat updates and instant adaptation, CalypsoAI is the first and only solution using GenAI to secure all enterprise use cases.

Building on this innovation, CalypsoAI's platform offers the most advanced tools to secure, audit, and monitor internal and external GenAI usage across all models, vendors, and modes. These enhancements transcend enterprise protection across GenAI deployments more than any other solution, including:

• Out-of-the-Box Scanners: While many companies want to customize scanners to suit their business needs, others want the ease of flipping a switch to power protection. To meet this need, CalypsoAI offers out-of-the-box scanners that address particular business use cases and verticals, such as PII and source code vulnerability. These pre-packaged scanners round out the existing suite of fully bespoke GenAI Scanners, enabling organizations of all sizes and industries to have the security capabilities at their disposal that make the most sense for their business.
• Dynamic, Real-Time Threat Updates: The CalypsoAI Platform now has the ability to push out updates and react in real time to tackle new and evolving threats, such as zero-day attacks. This is made possible through CalypsoAI’s proprietary process which powers its advanced model to adapt seamlessly to new threats, ensuring a company's security remains up-to-date and resilient against ever-changing cyber challenges.
• New Model Partners and Integrations: CalypsoAI recently announced a partnership with IBM watsonx to offer a comprehensive defense against modern cyber threats—blending IBM’s powerful AI models with CalypsoAI’s advanced threat detection mechanisms and proactive defense strategies.
• The CalypsoAI Security Community: CalypsoAI is creating the ability for users to share successful custom-built scanners with others—from partners in their organization’s network, colleagues, or those they interact with on channels like X or LinkedIn—to leverage to their advantage. Fundamental to the community is the desire to strengthen knowledge-sharing among security professionals and increase awareness of best practices in the effort to secure GenAI use internally and externally.

“The threat landscape when it comes to AI is evolving so quickly, we realized we needed to fight fire with fire—which is exactly where our customizable scanner technology comes in,” said Jimmy White, CTO of CalypsoAI. “At CalypsoAI we want to empower your business to proactively evolve and respond to threats before they even emerge, ensuring instantaneous, comprehensive protection and resilience. The only way to do that is to fully embrace generative AI as a key pillar and core differentiator to our platform—and the latest features ensure that we’re not only doing that at scale but giving users the ability to share those protections and learn from each other.”

CalypsoAI will be demoing the new features and its full security and enablement platform at Black Hat USA 2024. Stop by the CalypsoAI booth #4310 to see the platform come to life in an interactive crime-solving game called, ‘Behind the Mask.’ And don’t miss the company’s cocktail party on Wednesday, August 7 from 6-8 PM PDT at the Hops & Hackers Happy Hour.
