About
Barrikade is security ops for the next generation of companies: AI-native teams shipping agents, copilots and LLM features into production.
We run authorised, scoped security assessments of AI-enabled systems, combining our agent-driven testing platform with expert review. We look for the ways AI agents actually go wrong:
• Prompt injection, direct and via retrieved documents, emails or web pages
• Tool/API misuse, over-broad permissions and dangerous cross-service actions
• Data exfiltration and sensitive-data leakage
• Application security issues around the AI system
You get a clear report that separates proven exploits from suspected issues, with evidence, reproduction steps, impact and developer-ready remediation guidance.
Especially useful if you sell to hospitals, health services or enterprises and need security evidence before a procurement review stalls the deal.
Backed by UCC IGNITE, Enterprise Ireland and NVIDIA. Running paid pilots with select startups.
