What is LLM Threat, and who runs it? (2026)
LLM Threat is an independent directory that scores LLM-security vendors and open-source tools by the OWASP and MITRE threats they cover. It exists because vendor marketing in this category outruns what the products deliver. It makes money from labeled sponsorships, featured listings, and paid intros — never from changing a score.

Why it exists
Vendor marketing in this category outruns what the products deliver, and the roster of who owns what changes almost monthly. Six of the best-known names were acquired inside about a year. A buyer needs one place that maps each product to the OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS, dates every claim, and states plainly what it could not verify. That is the whole job of this site.
How it stays independent
Paid placement buys position and a label. It does not buy a coverage cell, a rating change, or a spot higher in a ranking than the data supports. Coverage is scored the same way whether a vendor pays or not. Every paid slot is marked "Sponsored" or "Featured."
How every page is verified
Every data page carries the sources it draws on and the date it was last checked, shown in the page footer. Coverage scores are an editorial read of public documentation, not a third-party audit — where something could not be confirmed, the cell is marked Unverified rather than guessed.
