Protect AI and Leidos Collaborate to Secure U.S. Government AI Systems

Protect AI and Leidos have announced a collaboration to enhance AI security for U.S. government systems, announced in a press release. This partnership aims to provide robust AI security capabilities to protect mission-critical government applications from adversarial threats and vulnerabilities.

The collaboration leverages Leidos' expertise in secure digital transformation and Protect AI's platform to deliver comprehensive security across the entire AI supply chain. This includes protection against threats posed by next-generation agentic AI models, which are autonomous systems capable of making decisions without human intervention. Such systems can pose significant risks to national security and critical infrastructure if manipulated by external threats.

By integrating Protect AI's platform into Leidos' secure digital transformation initiatives, the partnership aims to provide federal agencies with critical capabilities to manage AI risks. This includes protection against issues like prompt injection, adversarial manipulation, and model drift. The Protect AI platform offers a suite of tools, including Guardian for model security, Recon for automated red-teaming, and Layer for LLM runtime security, ensuring comprehensive protection and compliance with federal standards.
