How do I secure DeepSeek applications?

Integrate Wardstone Guard with your DeepSeek application to detect prompt injections, jailbreaks, harmful content, and data leakage. Wardstone validates inputs before they reach DeepSeek and screens outputs before returning them to users.

What security risks does DeepSeek have?

Chain-of-Thought Manipulation: Reasoning models can be led through malicious reasoning chains that bypass safety. Regional Safety Gaps: Different training data and alignment may create unexpected vulnerabilities. Vision Input Attacks: DeepSeek-VL2 can process malicious instructions hidden in images.

Why Secure DeepSeek?

Chain-of-Thought Manipulation

High Risk

Reasoning models can be led through malicious reasoning chains that bypass safety.

Regional Safety Gaps

Medium Risk

Different training data and alignment may create unexpected vulnerabilities.

Vision Input Attacks

Medium Risk

DeepSeek-VL2 can process malicious instructions hidden in images.

Security Considerations

1
DeepSeek models may have different safety alignments than Western models
2
R1 reasoning models can be manipulated through chain-of-thought attacks
3
Vision models are susceptible to image-based prompt injection
4
Wardstone provides consistent safety across regional model differences

How to Integrate

Install Wardstone SDK
Add Wardstone to your DeepSeek API integration.
Screen all inputs
Validate prompts before sending to DeepSeek's API.
Validate reasoning chains
For R1 models, screen intermediate reasoning steps for manipulation.
Process multimodal inputs
Extract and validate text from images before vision model processing.

Pricing Note

DeepSeek offers highly competitive pricing. Wardstone security adds minimal cost for comprehensive protection.

Secure DeepSeek with Wardstone

# Step 1: Check user input with Wardstone
curl -X POST "https://api.wardstone.ai/v1/detect" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WARDSTONE_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "User message here"}'
 
# Response: { "prompt_attack": { "detected": false, ... } }
 
# Step 2: If safe, send to DeepSeek
curl -X POST "https://api.deepseek.com/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_DEEPSEEK_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-chat",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "User message here"}]
  }'
 
# Step 3: Check DeepSeek response with Wardstone before returning to user
