Why KuppingerCole Recognizes NeuralTrust as a Leader

KuppingerCole’s detailed evaluation cites several differentiators behind NeuralTrust’s high placement:

1. Purpose-built for GenAI Defense — not adapted from traditional cybersecurity

Unlike legacy vendors, NeuralTrust was designed from the ground up for modern AI risks, addressing threats such as:

• prompt injection
• jailbreaks
• indirect prompt injection
• multi-step chain attacks
• reasoning manipulation
• model extraction
• training data leakage
• agentic tool misuse

2. Enterprise-grade European compliance and deployment flexibility

NeuralTrust offers:

• on-premises, private cloud, and air-gapped deployment
• built-in support for GDPR, EU AI Act, and ISO 42001
• high compatibility with European data protection requirements

This makes NeuralTrust a top choice for regulated industries in Europe and globally.

3. High-performance, low-latency protection

With GPU-accelerated sub-10ms inference, NeuralTrust is one of the fastest AI firewalls in the market, enabling:

• security at scale
• near-zero added latency
• real-time decisioning for high-demand production applications

4. Comprehensive threat coverage from LLMs to agents

NeuralTrust protects:

• large language models
• retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems
• autonomous agents
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoints
• model supply chain components

This breadth places NeuralTrust in the elite cluster of innovation leaders.

Analyst Validation of Our Approach

In multiple sections of the report, KuppingerCole emphasizes NeuralTrust’s unique architecture and depth:

“NeuralTrust provides LLM and Agentic security with GPU-optimized performance targeting sub-10ms latency, multi-language detection capabilities, and protection against multiple attack vectors including multi-step chain attacks.”

“The platform classifies over thirty injection types including Role-Playing Exploits, Token Smuggling, JSON Injection, Reverse Psychology, and Symbolic Encoding.”

“NeuralTrust suits organizations requiring flexible deployment models including on-premises or private cloud options and companies with strong EU data protection requirements.”

These statements highlight NeuralTrust as a distinctively strong choice for EU enterprises, regulated industries, and organizations running high-risk or high-value AI workloads.

Advancing the Future of Generative AI Security

Generative AI will soon power a significant share of enterprise operations. But it creates new, natural-language attack surfaces that traditional security tools cannot defend.

NeuralTrust’s architecture was built to address exactly these challenges and KuppingerCole’s recognition reinforces our leadership in this new category.

We believe generative AI can transform organizations, but only if it is deployed securely, responsibly, and with robust protective controls. NeuralTrust is committed to helping enterprises achieve this with next-generation GenAI security infrastructure.
