About Mindgard
Spun out of Lancaster University research, Mindgard maps the AI attack surface first, then exploits it the way a human red team would.
Public disclosures (Cursor, Google Antigravity, Sora, Grok) feed a private knowledge base so scans are not just prompt-injection bingo. Runtime protection and CI/CD hooks sit on top of that same recon so findings can be retested after a fix.
