What You'll Learn
- Analyze AI application architectures to map attack surfaces, trust boundaries, and data flows, and build a prioritized test plan.
- Execute prompt injection, RAG manipulation, and agent tool-use attacks against AI-enabled systems.
- Launch abuse and operational attacks — denial-of-wallet, cost amplification, and tool-loop degradation — and report infrastructure risk.
- Build a repeatable AI security test harness with regression testing for model and prompt drift, and produce decision-grade reporting.
- Design layered defenses for AI apps, hardening RAG and tool-use interfaces and establishing a continuous security assurance loop.
Prerequisites
- A mid-level understanding of application and API security and cloud-native architectures. Familiarity with how LLM, RAG, and agent-based applications work is helpful but not required.
