FAQs about Generative AI Security in the Public Sector

Proven in the Field: A Federal Agency Success Story

A U.S. federal agency partnered with Lasso to securely implement GenAI-powered applications and chatbots. The agency faced the challenge of minimizing exposure to GenAI-related cyber risks and misinformation.

By leveraging Lasso the agency successfully:

Enabled secure internal and external chatbot services while protecting sensitive data.

Implemented context-based access controls to ensure that GenAI usage was limited to authorized personnel.

Detected and blocked prompt injections, misinformation, and malicious manipulation in real time, enhancing security.

Maintained comprehensive audit trails to support compliance and incident response efforts

Core Security Features That Power Lasso

RAG-Specific Protections

Prevent internal data overexposure in Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems. Lasso monitors query-response behavior, validates access permissions in real time, and ensures users don’t retrieve data they wouldn’t otherwise be authorized to access, bridging the gap between traditional IAM and GenAI inference.

Behavioral Isolation & Session Blocking

Detect and halt emerging threats mid-session. Our system continuously analyzes prompt and completion behavior. If suspicious activity is detected, such as repeated jailbreak attempts, Lasso can automatically isolate the session or cut it off entirely to prevent escalation or data exfiltration.

Flexible Deployment Options

Integrate Lasso in any environment with SDKs, reverse proxies, browser extensions, or API-layer observability. This flexibility supports both cloud-native apps and legacy systems, enabling coverage across internal tools, vendor models, and third-party integrations.

Near-Zero Latency at Scale

Lasso is engineered to protect high-throughput GenAI systems without performance compromise. Security checks are executed in-line with sub-millisecond overhead, ensuring real-time coverage for public-facing applications or internal productivity tools.

Prompt and Completion Anomaly Detection

Go beyond static rules. Lasso’s platform analyzes both user inputs and LLM responses for deviations from normal behavior, using models trained on one of the largest and most frequently updated datasets of prompt injection and jailbreak attempts.

Context-Based Access Control

Enforce usage restrictions based on user role, data classification, or application context. Lasso ensures GenAI access follows zero-trust principles, so only the right users can perform sensitive tasks, even in autonomous workflows.

Red Teaming & Auto Testing

Continuously test and pressure-check your GenAI deployments. Our automated red teaming agents simulate real-world adversarial behavior, including jailbreaks and data probes, ensuring your defenses stay current as threats evolve.

Secure GenAI Use Across Government

Lasso Security helps federal and public-sector agencies move forward with GenAI without compromising mission integrity. Whether you're piloting internal tools or deploying large-scale citizen-facing applications, Lasso brings the security posture and control you need.

Let us help you build a safer foundation for the future of AI in government.
