Mindgard, an AI security startup spun out from Lancaster University, has raised $30 million to expand its platform protecting AI systems against adversarial attacks, model manipulation, and data leakage. The company, headquartered in Boston and London, offers an autonomous AI red teaming platform that simulates adversarial attacks, including jailbreaks and chained exploits, to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them.
