How do I secure Groq applications?

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

What security risks does Groq have?

Speed Amplifies Attacks: Ultra-fast inference means successful attacks can cause damage very quickly. No Safety Layer: Groq focuses purely on inference speed, with no safety filtering. Real-Time Exploitation: Low latency enables interactive attack refinement in real-time.

Why Secure Groq?

Speed Amplifies Attacks

High Risk

Ultra-fast inference means successful attacks can cause damage very quickly.

No Safety Layer

High Risk

Groq focuses purely on inference speed, with no safety filtering.

Real-Time Exploitation

Medium Risk

Low latency enables interactive attack refinement in real-time.

Security Considerations

1
Groq's speed (1200+ tok/s) means attacks can happen very fast
2
LPU inference doesn't include safety filtering
3
Real-time applications have less tolerance for security latency
4
Wardstone's sub-30ms latency is negligible compared to network round-trips

How to Integrate

Add Wardstone to your Groq stack
Install Wardstone SDK alongside the Groq client.
Validate inputs first
Screen prompts before sending to Groq's ultra-fast inference.
Stream-aware output screening
Validate streaming responses as they arrive from Groq.
Maintain speed advantage
Wardstone's sub-30ms latency preserves Groq's speed benefits.

Pricing Note

Groq offers competitive pricing for blazing-fast inference. Wardstone adds security without eliminating the speed advantage.

Secure Groq 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 Groq
curl -X POST "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GROQ_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "llama-3.3-70b-versatile",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "User message here"}]
  }'
 
# Step 3: Check Groq response with Wardstone before returning to user
