Course Outline

The AI Threat Landscape

  • Why AI security is unique: non-determinism, opaque reasoning, and prompts as attack surfaces
  • Attack taxonomy: distinguishing training-time, inference-time, and supply chain attacks
  • The ML adversary model: understanding who attacks AI systems and their motivations

OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications

  • Prompt injection: analyzing direct and indirect attack vectors
  • Insecure output handling and cross-plugin request forgery
  • Training data poisoning and supply chain vulnerabilities
  • Model denial of service, sensitive information disclosure, and excessive agency
  • Hands-on lab: exploiting each OWASP category against a test application

Prompt Injection and Jailbreak Red Teaming

  • Taxonomy of injection techniques: direct, indirect, multi-turn, and multi-modal
  • Automated red-teaming using Giskard, Garak, and custom fuzzing tools
  • Classification of jailbreaks and evaluation of defense mechanisms
  • Creating a red-team harness for continuous LLM security testing

Model-Level Attacks and Defenses

  • Model extraction: stealing model weights and functionality via API queries
  • Membership inference: determining if specific data was part of the training set
  • Adversarial examples: perturbations designed to fool classifiers and embeddings
  • Data poisoning: corrupting training data to induce backdoors or degrade performance

Input and Output Security Controls

  • Input sanitization strategies beyond traditional web defenses
  • Output filtering: addressing toxicity, PII leakage, and hallucinated code execution
  • Guardrails as security infrastructure: leveraging NeMo, Guardrails AI, and custom policies
  • Using structured output enforcement as a security boundary

AI Supply Chain Security

  • Model provenance: verifying the authenticity and integrity of models
  • Dependency scanning for ML frameworks and model formats
  • Secure model serving: implementing sandboxing, network isolation, and least-privilege access
  • Vetting fine-tuned and community models for embedded malware

Operational Security for AI Systems

  • Access control for model endpoints, vector stores, and agent tools
  • Audit logging for all model interactions and decisions
  • Incident response for AI-specific breaches, including cases where the model itself is compromised
  • Integrating continuous security testing into ML pipeline CI/CD processes

Building an AI Security Program

  • Developing an AI security maturity model and roadmap
  • Integrating AI security into existing AppSec and cloud security programs
  • Applying governance frameworks and emerging regulations for AI systems
  • Creating and maintaining an organizational AI security playbook

Requirements

  • Experience deploying ML models or LLM applications in production environments.
  • Familiarity with core security concepts, such as authentication, authorization, and threat modeling.
  • Proficiency in Python for adversarial testing exercises.

Target Audience

  • Security engineers expanding their expertise into AI/ML threat surfaces.
  • ML engineers responsible for ensuring model safety and robustness.
  • Red team members incorporating AI systems into their testing scope.
