NVADER vs ProofLayer

NVADER is a cloud-based security scanner for AI apps, code, agents, integrations, MCP servers and dependencies. Its five scanners cover apps, repositories, MCP servers, skills and hallucinations, with automated attacks including prompt injection, jailbreaking, data extraction, code and agent vulnerabilities, and hallucinated dependencies. Reports rank findings by severity, highlight critical issues and provide fix guidance. Findings can be mapped to OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, CWE, OWASP Top 10 and NIST AI RMF. Visitors can run a free app scan by entering a link without creating an account. The Free plan covers one app and App Scan; Starter costs $49 a month for one app and all five scan types, while Pro is $149 a month for up to five apps. Specialist reviews, assessments and managed services are also listed at separate prices. NVADER says source code is scanned in an isolated container and deleted, prompts are not retained after processing, and findings are kept for 12 months. SCAN is available now; WATCH and DEFEND are described as coming.

ProofLayer scans AI code before deployment, red-teams agents continuously, and protects MCP traffic at runtime, turning findings into audit-ready evidence. Its open-source scanner checks coding agents, MCP servers, prompts, skills, code, and packages from a developer workstation, CI, or as an MCP tool. It flags risks including prompt injection, hallucinated packages, exposed secrets, unsafe MCP tools, and vulnerable generated code. Autonomous attack campaigns test LLM applications, multi-agent systems, RAG pipelines, and MCP servers for issues such as jailbreaks, data exfiltration, tool abuse, RAG poisoning, and memory injection. Verified breaches include replay traces and audit-ready evidence. Runtime protections test MCP traffic for tool poisoning, excessive permissions, unsafe tool execution, and supply-chain risk. Listed targets and integrations include OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, self-hosted Qwen, Llama, and Mistral, plus LangGraph, LangChain, ChromaDB, and MCP servers. ProofLayer says it generates evidence for SOC 2, NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, and ISO/IEC 42001. The free Community plan includes a CLI and MCP scanner, 1,700+ detection rules, prompt injection probes, MCP tool testing, a community rule library, and an MIT license.
