Lakera Red: automated and expert AI red teaming offering

Lakera Red is an automated and expert AI red teaming offering from Check Point. It is a commercial product offered as: Managed service. Pricing model: contact sales.

  • Last reviewed

Best for

  • Teams that want security experts to run adversarial tests against a chatbot or agent they own and deliver a report
  • Teams that already use Lakera Guard or Check Point and want red teaming of RAG and tool-using agents from the same vendor

Ownership

Check Point completed its acquisition of Lakera in the fourth quarter of 2025. Source, checked October 21, 2026: checkpoint.com (opens in a new tab)

Consider instead if

  • You want a free scanner you run yourself instead of an expert-led service. See garak.
  • You want an automated product and a crowd-sourced expert service whose findings come with reproductions and support retesting after fixes. See Gray Swan.

What Lakera Red does

Lakera Red now names two things under Check Point, which completed its purchase of Lakera in late 2025. The product page sells automated red teaming: a continuous workflow that scans AI apps and agents for safety, security and responsible AI failures, behind a Start for free button. The docs describe the expert assessment, four steps from mapping the application to a report with severity ratings and fixes, pitched as finding what traditional testing misses. The expert scope is the more specific of the two: context extraction, instruction override, content injection, service disruption, and indirect poisoning through RAG ingestion or integrations. Neither page gives a price, free tier terms or a mapping of findings to OWASP, so ask which of the two you are buying and what the report covers.

Lakera Red FAQ

Is Lakera Red software or a service?

Both. The product page headlines automated red teaming, a continuous workflow that scans AI apps and agents. The docs describe an expert-led assessment in four steps, from application enumeration to risk assessment and reporting, which you arrange by contacting the team.

Does it test RAG and indirect prompt injection?

The docs list indirect poisoning through external data sources, RAG ingestion or integrations among the expert assessment's tests, next to context extraction, instruction override, content injection and service disruption.

Who owns Lakera?

Check Point completed its acquisition of Lakera in the fourth quarter of 2025, and the docs now call the service Check Point AI Red Teaming.

How much does Lakera Red cost?

No price is published on the pages we read. The product page offers Book a demo and Contact sales.
