Find AI Failures Before They Find You

AI systems don't fail loudly. They degrade quietly until a customer, a regulator, or a headline surfaces what your team missed.

Gray Swan stress-tests your AI the way the real world will. Before the real world does.

You can’t ship what you haven’t stress-tested.
But most teams do.

Enterprise AI goes to production based on evals, benchmarks, and internal QA. None of that tells you what happens when real users, or real attackers, push your system into territory you didn't anticipate.

Edge cases at scale

Manual testing covers the scenarios you can think of. It's the ones you can't account for that cause incidents.

Brittle guardrails

Policies that pass internal review but collapse under adversarial input, novel phrasing, or multi-step manipulation.

False confidence

Strong benchmark performance masks fragile real-world behavior. Systems look robust until they aren't.

Slow feedback loops

Without pre-deployment stress testing, failures are discovered by customers, not engineers.

The question isn’t whether your AI has failure modes.
It’s whether you've found them yet.

Automated Red Teaming That Finds What QA Can’t

ADVERSARIAL RED-TEAMING

Pre-deployment: Break it before you ship it

Gray Swan’s autonomous red-teaming engine, systematically probes your AI for failure points: policy gaps, guardrail bypasses, edge-case breakdowns, and adversarial vulnerabilities. It doesn't run a checklist. It thinks like an attacker, generating novel inputs designed to surface the failures your internal testing missed.

Every attack pattern Shade runs is built on live threat intelligence from the Arena, where Gray Swan's research team discovers emerging failure modes well before they reach public disclosure.

RUNTIME PROTECTION

Post-deployment: Catch what slips through

Cygnal provides continuous runtime monitoring, catching behavioral anomalies and policy violations as your AI operates in production. When Shade finds a weakness pre-deployment, Cygnal ensures it's enforced at runtime, closing the loop between testing and protection.

What this looks like in practice

Shade
Continuous Regression Testing

Every model update, prompt change, or policy revision gets stress-tested against the same adversarial scenarios ensuring fixes don't introduce new failures.

Cygnal
Runtime Anomaly Detection

When edge cases make it past testing, Cygnal flags behavioral anomalies in production before they escalate into incidents.

Emerging Threat Coverage

New failure modes and adversarial techniques are discovered continuously in Gray Swan's Arena and built into Shade's test scenarios, so your testing stays ahead of the threat landscape.
