Why This Matters
Since GenAI integration accelerating, attacks are rapidly expanding. Techniques like prompt injection and jailbreaking are now big threats.
Repello addresses this gap: proactive, GenAI‑specific security. By automating attack simulations, it helps teams find and fix vulnerabilities before they are exploited—a capability that traditional app sec‑ops tools lack.
