🔒Perplexity built an AI security lab. The real moat is what it protects.

In partnership with

✨Welcome back, Entrepreneurs

This issue is about AI that doesn’t just talk — it acts, observes, and makes decisions in your workflows, your inbox, and even on your face. The opportunity is massive, but so is the blast radius if you get security and guardrails wrong.

⚡Perplexity launches the Secure Intelligence Institute — and turns AI security into product strategy

Perplexity has launched the Secure Intelligence Institute (SII), a research hub led by Purdue’s Dr. Ninghui Li, partnering with top cryptography, security, and ML teams to strengthen AI security and industry collaboration. The first work is not just a whitepaper; it’s a draft blueprint for how serious teams will secure agents in the wild.

What’s new

• A new institute focused on securing AI systems, agents, and their attack surfaces.

• First paper maps key agent risks like prompt injection, confused‑deputy actions, and cascading failures.

• Outlines a layered defense stack across input filters, model safeguards, sandboxing, and strict policy enforcement.

Why this matters for builders

SII improves Perplexity's security by detailing architecture, threat models, mitigations, and testing. In 12–18 months, "agent security model" requests will be as common in enterprise sales as SOC 2 compliance inquiries.
