About Panguard AI Expand
Panguard AI provides essential security for AI agents, addressing the critical lack of vetting for skills and tools they use. As an open-source, MIT-licensed product, it offers real-time protection against threats like prompt injection, tool poisoning, and supply chain attacks.
Panguard scans every skill before execution and guards agent actions, utilizing a community-driven threat intelligence network (ATR) with hundreds of detection rules. This approach ensures that security is accessible to everyone, from individual developers to large enterprises requiring audit-ready evidence for compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF.
Built in Taiwan, Panguard aims to be the standard gatekeeper for AI agent security.
