## Executive Summary

AIShield is an AI-security startup incubated inside Bosch that secures machine learning models across their lifecycle. Its software scans and red teams machine learning models before launch (AISpectra) and screens live generative AI traffic afterward (Guardian). Gartner has named it a representative vendor in its guide to AI trust and security. Yet AIShield still operates like an early venture. The team is small, its published customer references stay anonymous, and its outside proof is mostly partner and integration signals such as Fortanix and AWS. Bosch parentage lends credibility, but the public record shows no named production deployments, the proof a regulated buyer weighs most.
