As large language models revolutionize business operations, sophisticated attackers exploit AI systems through prompt injection, jailbreaking, and content manipulation—vulnerabilities that traditional security tools cannot detect. This intensive course empowers AI developers, cybersecurity professionals, and IT managers to systematically identify and mitigate LLM-specific threats before deployment. Master red-teaming methodologies using industry-standard tools like PyRIT, NVIDIA Garak, and Promptfoo to uncover hidden vulnerabilities through adversarial testing. Learn to design and implement multi-layered content-safety filters that block sophisticated bypass attempts while maintaining system functionality. Through hands-on labs, you'll establish resilience baselines, implement continuous monitoring systems, and create adaptive defenses that strengthen over time.
