## Choose when

### Choose humanbound if…

- License: humanbound is Other, agentic-radar is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to humanbound: adversarial-testing, ai-agents, llm security, multimodal-ai.
- When you need to test your AI agent's resilience against prompt injection attacks, utilize humanbound’s specialized features tailored for this purpose

### Choose agentic-radar if…

- License: agentic-radar is Apache-2.0, humanbound is Other.
- Tags unique to agentic-radar: devsecops, generative-ai, security-tools.
