About Us

At Preamble, we believe AI security should be a foundation—not an afterthought.
Our mission is to empower businesses and governments to use AI safely, securely, and responsibly—without compromising innovation or compliance.

Founded in 2021, as generative AI began gaining traction across sectors, Preamble was built with a bold vision: to provide scalable, user-friendly security solutions tailored to AI’s rapid evolution. Our team—rooted in traditional cybersecurity and emerging tech—identified early threats and developed effective mitigation strategies, including a patented solution for prompt injection attacks.

Today, Preamble continues to future-proof AI with advanced, customizable safeguards designed to meet the ever-changing landscape of risks and regulations. With our headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA we are proud to support the emerging AI and robotics ecosystem!
