The AI landscape is transforming at hyperspeed, with agents now capable of real-time web exploration and data retrieval. While these capabilities unlock unprecedented potential, they also introduce critical security risks. As AI systems become more autonomous, they face an increasing risk of indirect injection attacks - where malicious instructions are embedded within seemingly innocuous data.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Tavily - a leading web access layer designed specifically for AI agents—which delivers real-time, accurate, and factual results to more than 200,000 AI builders worldwide.
By integrating Pillar’s adaptive guardrails with Tavily’s web access layer for AI agents, we’re establishing a new standard for trustworthy, proactive, and reliable AI-powered retrieval.
Transforming AI Security for agentic systems
Addressing the Threat of Indirect Injection Attacks
Organizations deploying AI agents must safeguard internal data while ensuring that externally sourced information is accurate, safe, and free from manipulation.
Since AI models are only as reliable as the data they retrieve, these risks grow as AI agents connect with an ever-expanding network of data sources, potentially leading to indirect injection attacks that lead to:
- Data Leaks: Unauthorized exposure of sensitive information.
- Misinformation: Propagation of manipulated or false data.
- System Compromise: Altered AI behavior that undermines system integrity.
Our collaboration with Tavily enables us to counter these risks head-on. By integrating Pillar’s advanced security guardrails directly into Tavily’s engines, we ensure that only verified, secure data reaches end-users and models in real time.
