Building Safer AI Agents on Databricks with Alice WonderFence
TL;DR
Learn how to integrate the Alice WonderFence Guardrails into Databricks’ Mosaic AI Agent Framework to detect and mitigate LLM safety and security risks in real time.
As enterprises embrace generative AI, intelligent agents are rapidly becoming core components of customer experiences, operations, and products. But with this power comes risk: AI agents can behave unpredictably, respond with toxic or non-compliant content, or be manipulated through adversarial prompts, putting your brand and users at risk.
That's why we've partnered with Databricks, a leader in AI infrastructure and enterprise-scale LLM development, to make building safe, policy-aligned AI agents easier than ever. Together, we're helping developers integrate agentic AI safeguards via WonderFence Guardrails into the Databricks Mosaic AI Agent Framework, ensuring agents are protected at runtime from safety, security, and compliance risks.
With WonderFence, organizations gain real-time protection across every input and output, live observability into agent behavior, and actionable safeguards that reflect your unique policies and brand values.
This collaboration brings together Databricks' powerful AI development stack with Alice's enterprise-grade safety solutions, allowing teams to deploy autonomous AI systems with confidence, without compromising innovation or agility.
The partnership equips data teams with the infrastructure to manage agentic AI risk at scale, making agentic AI safety an integrated part of the development workflow rather than an afterthought.

For Extremists, the Gap Was Never Intent. It Was Capability.
Extremists have never lacked intent, only capability, and frontier AI is quietly closing that gap. In default settings, Alice's red team used patient conversation to walk models toward CBRNE harm, showing why guardrails must hold across every turn.
Why Your CISO Shouldn't Be the Department of No
What if the person whose whole job is risk was the most excited one in the room about AI? That's Mea Clift, and it's a pretty refreshing way to walk into all this. She's the CISO of Cengage, where the data she's protecting belongs to students, so the stakes are real. But instead of bracing for what could go wrong, she leans in, she calls it being "risk excited." She and Mo get into why security is so much better as the Department of KNOW than the department of no, how she handles shadow AI without punishing people for being curious, why she'd tailor a framework she already has instead of building one from scratch, and how she ends up teaching security through Marvel and Monsters Inc. Which, it turns out, is every bit as fun as it sounds.
