Amazon Bedrock Guardrails announces tiers for content filters and denied topics, offering additional flexibility and ease of use towards choosing features and expanded language support depending on customer use cases. With a new Standard tier, Guardrails now detects and filters undesirable content with better contextual understanding including modifications such as typographical errors, and support for up to 60 languages.
Bedrock Guardrails provides configurable safeguards to help detect and block harmful content and prompt attacks, define topics to deny and disallow specific topics, and helps redact personally identifiable information (PII) such as personal data from input prompts and model responses. Additionally, Bedrock Guardrails helps detect and block model hallucinations, and identify, correct, and explain factual claims in model responses using Automated Reasoning checks. Guardrails can be applied across any foundation model including those hosted with Amazon Bedrock, self-hosted models, and third-party models outside Bedrock using the ApplyGuardrail API, providing a consistent user experience and helping to standardize safety and privacy controls.
The new Standard tier enhances the content filters and denied topics safeguards within Bedrock Guardrails by offering better robust detection of prompt and response variations, strengthened defense against all categories of content filters including prompt attacks, and broader language support. The improved prompt attacks filter clearly distinguishes between jailbreaks and prompt injection on the backend while protecting against other threats including output manipulation. To access the Standard tier’s capabilities, customers must explicitly opt in to cross-region inference with Bedrock Guardrails.
