Spotlight on DeepKeep.ai

DeepKeep, the leading provider of AI-Native Trust, Risk, and Security Management (TRiSM), empowers large corporations that rely on AI, GenAI, and LLM technologies to manage risk and protect growth. Our model-agnostic, multi-layer platform ensures AI security and trustworthiness from the R&D phase of machine learning models through to deployment. This includes comprehensive risk assessment, prevention, detection, monitoring and mitigation.

“DeepKeep’s technology and vision ensure the responsible and secure development, deployment, and use of AI technologies,” says Rony Ohayon, CEO and Founder of DeepKeep. “We provide AI-native security and trustworthiness that safeguard AI throughout its entire lifecycle, allowing businesses to adopt AI confidently while protecting commercial and consumer data.”

DeepKeep Dashboard:

AI is becoming essential for businesses and everyday life. In 2023, 35% of businesses adopted AI, and 90% of leading businesses supported and invested in AI for competitive advantage. As the adoption of LLMs and generative AI surges across diverse applications and industries, organizational attack surfaces expand, introducing unique threats and weaknesses. New risks associated with LLMs go beyond traditional cyber-attacks and include Prompt Injection, Jailbreak, and PII Leakage, as well as the lack of trustworthiness due to biases, fairness, and vulnerabilities.

Gartner’s new TRiSM category is a perfect fit for DeepKeep, as it ensures AI model governance, trustworthiness, fairness, reliability, robustness, efficacy, and data protection. This includes solutions and techniques for model interpretability and explainability, AI data protection, model operations, and adversarial attack resistance.

DeepKeep’s unique use of Generative AI to secure Generative AI sets it apart from competitors like Hidden Layer and Robust Intelligence. We leverage GenAI to protect LLMs and computer vision models throughout the entire AI lifecycle. Our AI-native security solutions ensure businesses adopt AI safely, protecting both commercial and consumer data.

DeepKeep’s expertise includes computer vision models, large language models (LLM) and multimodal scenarios. We prioritize implementing both trustworthiness and security to enable synergies equaling more than the sum of the parts, and also address both digital and physical threats, such as facial recognition and object detection, to ensure comprehensive protection.

DeepKeep raised $10M in seed funding in a round led by Canadian-Israeli VC Awz Ventures. Our roadmap includes expanding into multilingual natural language processing (NLP). As we collaborate with multinational companies globally, there is growing demand for support in multiple languages, with an initial focus on Japanese, driven by our partnerships with Japanese firms.

DeepKeep recently conducted an extensive evaluation of Meta’s LlamaV2 7B LLM, summarized with the following weaknesses and strengths:

1. The LlamaV2 7B model is highly susceptible to both direct and indirect Prompt Injection (PI) attacks, with a majority of test attacks succeeding when exposing the model to contexts containing injected prompts.
2. The model is vulnerable to Adversarial Jailbreak attacks, provoking responses that violate ethical guidelines, with tests revealing a significant reduction in the model’s refusal rate under such scenarios.
3. The model is highly susceptible to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, with prompts containing transformations like word replacement, character substitution, and order switching leading to excessive token generation.
4. The model demonstrateד a high propensity for data leakage across diverse datasets, including finance, health, and generic PII.
5. The model has a significant tendency to hallucinate, challenging its reliability.
6. The model often opts out of answering questions related to sensitive topics like gender and age, suggesting it was trained to avoid potentially sensitive conversations rather than engage with them in an unbiased manner.

DeepKeep’s evaluation of data leakage and PII management demonstrates the model’s struggle to balance user privacy with the utility of information provided. However, Meta’s LlamaV2 7B LLM shows a remarkable ability to identify and decline harmful content, boasting a 99% refusal rate in our tests. Yet, our investigations into hallucinations indicate a significant tendency to fabricate responses, challenging its reliability. Overall, the LlamaV2 7B model showcases strengths in task performance and ethical commitment, with areas for improvement in handling complex transformations, addressing bias, and enhancing security against sophisticated threats.
