Macnica begins selling "DeepKeep," a security platform that identifies risks contained in AI models and learning data and protects AI/LLM

Macnica (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Kazumasa Hara; hereinafter "Macnica") announced today that it has signed a distributorship agreement with DeepKeep Ltd. (Headquarters: Israel; CEO & Founder: Rony Ohayon; hereinafter "DeepKeep"), a company that promotes AI-native security. This will ensure the security and reliability of AI, and support customers in utilizing AI and achieving business results.

■Accelerating the social implementation of AI and LLM and future challenges
The evolution of AI is affecting a wide range of industries, and in particular in recent years, the emergence of generative AI has improved natural language processing capabilities and automated many tasks. It is expected that half of the tasks currently performed by humans will be automated in the next few decades, and there are high expectations for this. However, as the introduction of AI progresses, various risks are becoming apparent, such as malicious attacks on AI models and unintended information leaks, and how to ensure the security and reliability of AI has become a major issue.
Traditional security focuses on the safety of the entire network and data protection, but AI security also requires ensuring the reliability and fairness of AI models. The risk management and countermeasures for each are different, and different approaches are required in terms of technical expertise and countermeasures.

■ AI-native Security & Trust Platform DeepKeep
DeepKeep's AI-native Security & Trust Platform comprehensively addresses security risks and inference trust issues for AI, LLM, and computer vision models.
Specifically, it has four functions to ensure the safe and secure use of AI.
