Pre-launch adversarial testing
Probe new models, features, and policies against real abuse patterns before they ship.
Red teaming + adversarial testing
Test your models like the adversary will.
Hands-on adversarial testing run by people who've spent careers tracking the worst actors on the internet and then helping platforms stop them.
Overview
To protect a bank, you have to know how to rob one.
Generic safety evaluations test for the harms you already know about. Real adversaries don't care about your eval set. They care about the gap between your policy and your product, and they'll find it before you do.
Cinder’s red team has spent years inside the platforms, agencies, and investigations that defined modern adversarial threat modeling. We probe the edges of your model the way the people abusing it will, and write the findings back into the same Cinder workflows that run your operation.
Capabilities
What the engagement covers
Real-world threat coverage
CSAM, NCII, extremism, election interference, prompt injection, jailbreaks, and the long tail of platform-specific harms.
Velocity that matches yours
Rigorous testing at the cadence of modern model and feature releases. Not a once-a-year audit.
System prompt governance for LLMs
Stress-test guardrails, prompt structures, and refusal behavior. Catch the failures that show up only at scale.
Findings written back to your platform
Every finding maps to a policy, a workflow, or an agent in Cinder. The fix is operational, not just a PDF.
Cleared and trusted operators
Sensitive testing handled by people with clearances, NDAs, and the institutional credibility to do it safely.
Overview
For foundation models, gen-AI apps, and any platform shipping new policy
Foundation model labs, consumer AI products, and platforms launching new safety policies use Cinder's red team to find what their internal teams can't see and to defend the launch when journalists, regulators, or partners come asking.
“Cinder provided rigorous adversarial testing that matched our release velocity. Their team found important edge cases and helped us address them before launch.”
