Preferred Inc. and Maitrasys Inc. Pre-Announce 'Omakase AI Guard' to Support Secure Publication and Operation of AI-Generated Applications

Preferred Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuhna Aina, hereinafter "Preferred") and Maitrasys Inc. (Headquarters: Kishiwada, Osaka; Representative Director: Maki Horiuchi, hereinafter "Maitrasys") have jointly pre-announced a new service called "Omakase AI Guard," designed to support the secure publication and operation of applications created using generative AI and AI development tools.

"Omakase AI Guard" is an AI × security service that comprehensively handles vulnerability assessments, checks for known vulnerabilities in utilized packages, risk evaluation reporting, guidance on remediation measures, and support for publishing and operating applications safely.

The widespread adoption of generative AI and AI coding assistance tools has significantly lowered the barrier to creating applications and business tools. However, many organizations hesitate to deploy their creations due to concerns such as "We're unsure if it's safe to deploy this into production," "We're worried about data leaks or cyberattacks," or "We don't have IT or security experts in-house."

"Omakase AI Guard" aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and businesses that want to safely utilize AI-generated applications—not just by identifying security issues, but by providing clear guidance on how to fix them and accompanying them toward secure publication and operation.

Background: As We Enter an Era Where Anyone Can "Create" with AI, the Challenge Shifts to "Can It Be Published Safely?"

In recent years, the proliferation of generative AI, no-code/low-code platforms, and AI coding assistants has enabled even organizations without specialized development experience to rapidly build business applications and web tools.

However, when it comes to actually publishing and operating these applications, many challenges and concerns remain:

- Uncertainty about whether vulnerabilities exist - Inability to check if libraries and packages used have known weaknesses - Difficulty understanding security terminology and assessing risk levels - Unclear on what to fix and in what order, even when issues are pointed out - Lack of dedicated IT or security personnel in-house - High cost and operational burden associated with outsourcing - Inability to manage post-publication monitoring and operations

While generative AI has made "creation" easy, the real challenge lies in "securely publishing and continuously operating" applications.

"Omakase AI Guard" aims to help organizations leveraging AI overcome security-related hesitation and successfully integrate their created applications into business operations.

What Is "Omakase AI Guard"?

"Omakase AI Guard" is an integrated AI × security support service designed to help organizations securely publish and operate applications and web services created with AI.

Users can share or upload the target application or folder to receive AI-powered vulnerability scanning and checks for known vulnerabilities in used packages.

Diagnostic results are presented in a clear, easy-to-understand Japanese report that explains "which parts are vulnerable and how severe the risks are," "what should be prioritized," and "how to fix them."

Beyond diagnosis and evaluation, the service provides ongoing support to help bring applications to a state ready for secure publication and operation. By not only identifying vulnerabilities but also organizing pre-deployment risk checks and post-launch operational strategies, "Omakase AI Guard" supports organizations in confidently using AI-generated applications.

Key Features

1. AI Vulnerability Scanning with Simple Folder Upload

The AI scans source code and used packages within the target application to detect vulnerabilities. In addition to checking against OWASP Top 10, the standard framework for web application security risks, it also identifies known vulnerabilities in libraries, middleware, and packages used. This helps organizations that are hesitant to publish AI-generated apps due to security concerns to better understand their risks beforehand.

2. Prioritizing Real-World Threats Over Theoretical Risks (KEV Integration)

Standard vulnerability scoring systems like CVSS often fail to distinguish between "theoretically dangerous" and "actively exploited" vulnerabilities. "Omakase AI Guard" cross-references CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog to prioritize vulnerabilities that are currently being exploited in the wild. This enables organizations to focus on the most urgent fixes first, even with limited time and resources.

3. Japanese Reports Designed for Business Leaders

Conventional security tools often provide dashboards filled with technical jargon, making them difficult for non-technical decision-makers to interpret. "Omakase AI Guard" translates technical risks into clear, business-friendly Japanese reports. By clearly indicating risk severity, remediation priorities, and recommended actions, it enables even organizations without dedicated IT staff to make informed decisions.

4. Guidance on How to Fix—Not Just Identifying Vulnerabilities

Rather than simply identifying vulnerabilities and stopping there, the service provides actionable guidance on how to fix them and in what order. This prevents the common scenario of "We know what's risky, but we still don't know what to do," and helps organizations take concrete steps toward publication.

5. Support Through Secure Publication and Operation

After diagnosis and evaluation, the service continues to support organizations in reaching a state ready for secure publication and ongoing operation. By organizing necessary countermeasures and checks with both pre-launch and post-launch operations in mind, it helps organizations build a secure and sustainable application usage environment.

6. Designed for SMEs Without IT Staff

"Omakase AI Guard" is designed to be accessible even to SMEs without in-house IT or security specialists. By integrating vulnerability scanning, risk assessment, reporting, remediation guidance, and publication support into a single seamless service, it aims to become a trusted partner for organizations seeking to safely adopt AI.

Target Use Cases

"Omakase AI Guard" is designed for the following organizations and stakeholders:

- Companies that have built business applications or web tools using generative AI but have not published them - Organizations with applications that are "one step away" from going live - SMEs without dedicated IT or security personnel - Companies that receive vulnerability reports but lack the personnel to fix them - Organizations deterred from taking security action due to high outsourcing costs - Companies planning to adopt AI but concerned about data leaks or cyberattacks - Organizations seeking to securely publish and operate AI-generated applications

Future Plans

Preferred and Maitrasys will continue refining the service offering, enhancing security diagnostic and reporting capabilities, and building support systems for publication and operation in preparation for the official launch of "Omakase AI Guard."

In an era where generative AI enables anyone to create applications, it is essential to have systems that allow organizations to publish and use them with confidence. "Omakase AI Guard" aims to become a new option for securely publishing AI-generated applications, supporting SMEs in both AI adoption and cybersecurity.
