What is prompt injection in AI?

Prompt injection is a security vulnerability where attackers manipulate AI models through malicious inputs to override system instructions, extract sensitive data, or bypass safety controls.

How do I test AI security?

AI security testing involves methodologies like OWASP LLM Top 10, red teaming exercises, and specific tools for prompt injection detection. Start with our methodology and tools pages.

What is MCP in AI security?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is Anthropic's standard for connecting AI agents to external tools. It has revealed 30+ CVEs in 2026, making MCP security a critical area for AI deployments.

What is the OWASP LLM Top 10?

OWASP LLM Top 10 is a consensus list of the most critical security vulnerabilities in LLM applications, including prompt injection, insecure output handling, training data poisoning, and more.

How can I protect my AI system from prompt injection?

Key defenses include: input validation and sanitization, privilege separation between user prompts and system instructions, output filtering, prompt firewalls, and defense-in-depth with multiple security layers.

What is AI red teaming?

AI red teaming is a proactive security exercise where security professionals simulate attacks against AI systems to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them.

What are the risks of RAG systems?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems face risks including prompt injection through malicious documents, sensitive data exposure through retrieved content, and attackers manipulating the retrieval context.

How do I secure my LLM API?

Secure LLM APIs by implementing authentication, rate limiting, input/output validation, logging and monitoring, avoiding sensitive data in prompts, and using separate endpoints for different trust levels.

What is jailbreaking in AI?

Jailbreaking bypasses AI safety filters to make models generate prohibited content. Common techniques include role-playing (DAN), multi-turn conversations, encoding attacks, and prompt injection.

What AI security certifications are available?

Key certifications include CRISC (Risk & Information Systems Control), CompTIA Security+, GIAC Penetration Tester, and specialized AI security courses from OWASP and MITRE ATLAS.
