Alice Raises $140M to Expand AI Model Defenses and Enterprise Guardrails

Alice is an AI trust, safety, and security company that raised $140 million to advance its platform for defending AI models against emerging vulnerabilities and adversarial attacks. The company partners with AI developers to perform pre-release stress tests using mock malicious inputs and complex agentic tasks to expose erratic behaviors such as prompt injection and jailbreak attempts. Once models are deployed, Alice provides continuous red-teaming and dynamic runtime guardrails aligned with business rules. Their proprietary Rabbit Hole database, built from tracking digital fraud and manipulation campaigns over nearly a decade, enables detection and interception of hostile actions targeting generative AI systems. Alice’s dedicated research facility employs over 150 specialists who work with model developers to anticipate failures and proactively close security gaps.

The investment enables Alice to enhance AI model security by identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities before and after deployment, reducing risks of adversarial attacks and misuse. This contributes to safer AI operations aligned with organizational policies and helps prevent exploitation of AI systems through prompt injections, jailbreaks, and other manipulation techniques. The expanded research and intelligence capabilities improve the overall resilience of AI models against emerging threats.

This is a security news update about funding and product development; no direct mitigation actions are required from organizations based on this information. Organizations using AI models should monitor developments from Alice and similar vendors for potential security solutions and best practices. Patch status or vendor advisories are not applicable.
