garak vs RedLens AI

garak is a command-line scanner for probing language models and systems that use them for security weaknesses. Its checks cover issues such as hallucination, data leakage, prompt injection, misinformation, toxicity generation, and jailbreaks. Probes try to elicit failures, while detectors inspect responses for patterns such as unsafe content or a failure to refuse. A standard scan can run without supervision and produce a report, with scan settings available for customization. Integrations include OpenAI, Hugging Face, Cohere, Replicate, AWS Bedrock, LiteLLM, REST-accessible models, and custom Python integrations. Hugging Face models can run locally or be accessed through an inference API or private endpoint. Output includes screen results, a detailed report log, a hit log, and a debug log. garak assesses text output only. It is developed in Linux and OSX and can be installed with pip or from source; listed platforms include Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted use. It is free, with a free plan and no free trial. Listed capabilities include custom metrics, LLM-as-a-judge, and safety evaluations.

RedLens AI runs automated adversarial attacks against production AI systems and maps findings to controls used in security audits. It is aimed at healthcare, law enforcement and regulated enterprise organizations deploying AI. Its Master Attack Schema v2.0 covers six attack categories and 22 methodologies, with findings scored by CVSS. Each assessment produces a PDF containing a risk score, vulnerabilities, remediation steps and mappings to frameworks including HIPAA, NIST AI RMF, OWASP GenAI Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, ISO/IEC 42001, FBI CJIS Security Policy and AIUC-1. The mappings are evidence, not certification. Retests can run daily or weekly to detect drift, and critical findings can trigger logged email alerts. A Python CLI and GitHub Action support CI/CD scans with severity gates and SARIF output; findings can stream to listed SIEM services or an HMAC-signed webhook. Deployment options include hosted SaaS and Enterprise self-hosted Docker. In the self-hosted package, stored data stays in the customer's Postgres, but attack generation and judging still call Anthropic's API using the customer's key. The Free plan includes 25 hosted scans monthly; paid plans start at $199.00 per month, while Developer starts at $799.00 per month.
