## Executive Summary

DeepKeep sells standalone runtime AI security in a category that platform vendors moved to consolidate through 2025. Palo Alto completed its acquisition of Protect AI and Check Point completed its acquisition of Lakera, so an enterprise could source an LLM firewall and red teaming from suites it already buys. DeepKeep also defends computer-vision and multimodal models, work backed by adversarial-vision research including a paper founder Rony Ohayon co-authored, and a EUR 2.5 million European Innovation Council grant. That vision coverage is a distinctive part of its pitch. DeepKeep's own pages show a Trusted By logo wall and no attributed customer reference. DeepKeep fits an enterprise securing vision or multimodal AI. Elsewhere it competes with vendors the buyer already pays.
