Pillar Security vs Prompt Security

Pillar Security is a unified AI security platform that provides visibility, risk assessment, and protection across the entire AI lifecycle from development to runtime. The platform discovers AI assets including agents, models, prompts, and tools—even shadow AI—maps attack surfaces with RedGraph for agentic red teaming, enforces policies, monitors behavior, and applies adaptive guardrails to prevent data exfiltration and prompt injection. It generates compliance reports mapped to leading standards and integrates with code, AI, and data platforms. Targeted at enterprises adopting agentic AI, it addresses security gaps in autonomous software by combining threat intelligence with runtime controls, enabling safe AI deployment while operationalizing governance for regulated environments. SOC2 Type II compliant with RBAC and self-hosted deployment options.

Prompt Security is an AI security product that controls how employees use AI tools and protects the AI applications and agents companies build. Itamar Golan (CEO) and Lior Drihem (CTO), who had worked at Check Point and Orca Security, founded it in August 2023; it is based in Tel Aviv. It raised $23 million: a $5 million seed round led by Hetz Ventures (January 2024) and an $18 million Series A led by Jump Capital (November 2024), with Ridge Ventures, Okta and F5 joining. SentinelOne, the Mountain View, California security company, agreed to buy Prompt Security on August 5, 2025 and completed the deal on September 5, 2025. Its Form 8-K puts the consideration at approximately $180 million in cash and SentinelOne Class A stock. Prompt Security is still sold under its own name, as part of SentinelOne's Singularity Platform. The product page is on sentinelone.com; prompt.security now hosts research and free tools such as the open-source Prompt Fuzzer, and the old press release we checked there redirects to SentinelOne. **What it does** SentinelOne's Prompt Security page lists three areas. AI Usage Control inventories the AI tools and code assistants employees and developers use, including unsanctioned shadow AI, and redacts sensitive data and enforces policies across more than 15,000 AI services in real time. It also covers GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Claude Code, keeping secrets and intellectual property out of them. AI Application Security tests homegrown AI apps for prompt injection, jailbreaks and data poisoning before deployment, runs a real-time AI firewall, and turns red-team findings into guardrails. Agentic AI Security finds shadow MCP servers and unsanctioned agents, enforces least-privilege access for agents and keeps a searchable audit log. SentinelOne says Prompt's MCP gateway scores the risk of more than 13,000 known MCP servers and can allow, block, filter or redact their actions. Prompt deploys through a lightweight agent and browser extensions, and covers major LLM providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, and self-hosted models. **Product changes since the acquisition** At its OneCon conference in November 2025 SentinelOne launched Prompt Security for Employees, for AI Code Assistants and for AI Applications, plus Prompt Security for Agentic AI in beta. At RSAC in March 2026 it announced Prompt AI Agent Security, a discovery and governance control plane for agents and MCP servers (agent posture management was in preview), and Prompt AI Red Teaming for testing homegrown AI apps. **Frameworks** Neither SentinelOne's Prompt Security pages nor prompt.security name the EU AI Act, ISO 42001 or the NIST AI RMF; they refer only to meeting compliance requirements in general terms. This profile lists no frameworks. **Who it's for** Companies that want to let employees use generative AI and coding assistants while controlling data exposure, especially existing SentinelOne customers. Named customers include 10x Banking and Carnival Corporation.
