⭐️ New launch: Protect your AI agents with context-aware guardrails.

[Watch demo](/content/giskard-guards-demo/index.html)

### Why model guardrails fail enterprise AI deployments

Generic filters over-block good requests, miss real attacks, and break under agentic workflows.

## Context-blindness creates false positives

A banking customer reporting credit card fraud gets blocked as a content violation. **That's not security, that's a broken product.** Up to **40% of blocked requests are false positives** with generic guardrails.

## Traditional guardrails are not built for AI agents

Industry benchmarks use prompts like “forget previous instructions”. **Real attacks look nothing like that.** A benchmark that only tests obvious jailbreak strings will always miss the attacks that matter in production.

## Traditional AI governance can't keep up

Your compliance team updates policies in spreadsheets. Your AI team **deploys new agents weekly.** By the time governance catches up, **the system has already changed three times.** This gap is where incidents happen.

### Policy-driven decisions for AI agents

Guards inspect context, enforce policy, and block unsafe actions before they reach production.

## Red-teaming boosted

Giskard detectors don't just match keywords, they understand the intent and context of every interaction. Define custom guidelines in natural language, and the detector enforces them semantically.

## Quality-first guardrails

Beyond blocking attacks, Giskard Guards ensures your AI responses are accurate, grounded, and on-topic. Bad quality erodes user trust just as much as a security breach.

Covers OWASP LLM risks and custom policy rules.

## Agentic by design

Giskard Guards inspects the full agentic flow: tool calls, parameters, user permissions, and multi-step reasoning chains. Not just text content.

## Customization at scale: Policy-as-Code Guardrails

Giskard Guards converts your regulatory requirements into enforceable policies, versionable, and deployable in seconds.
