AI

AI security encompasses both protecting AI systems from attack and understanding the new vulnerability classes that AI introduces into applications. As organizations rapidly integrate large language models (LLMs), machine learning pipelines, and AI-powered features into their products, the attack surface has expanded in ways that traditional application security frameworks don't fully address.

Key threats to AI systems include prompt injection — where attackers manipulate LLM behavior through crafted inputs — data poisoning of training datasets, model extraction through repeated API queries, and adversarial examples that cause misclassification. Indirect prompt injection, where malicious instructions are embedded in data the AI processes (emails, documents, web pages), is emerging as one of the most significant security challenges for AI-integrated applications.

AI also introduces new categories of application risk: insecure output handling where LLM responses are rendered unsafely, excessive agency when AI agents are given too much access, sensitive information disclosure through training data leakage, and supply chain risks from fine-tuned models and third-party plugins. The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications provides a structured framework for understanding these risks.

On the defensive side, AI is being used to enhance security operations — automating vulnerability detection, analyzing malicious patterns, and accelerating incident response.

This page collects AI security research, LLM vulnerability techniques, defensive strategies, and resources covering the intersection of artificial intelligence and application security.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is prompt injection?
Prompt injection is an attack against applications that use large language models (LLMs). An attacker crafts input that overrides or manipulates the LLM's system instructions, causing it to perform unintended actions. Direct prompt injection targets the user input; indirect prompt injection embeds malicious instructions in data the LLM processes, such as emails or web pages.
What is the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications?
The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications identifies the most critical security risks for AI-powered applications, including prompt injection, insecure output handling, training data poisoning, model denial of service, supply chain vulnerabilities, sensitive information disclosure, insecure plugin design, excessive agency, overreliance, and model theft.
How do you secure AI-integrated applications?
Key practices include validating and sanitizing LLM outputs before rendering or executing them, implementing least-privilege access for AI agents, using guardrails to constrain model behavior, monitoring for prompt injection attempts, applying rate limiting, separating AI processing from privileged operations, and treating all LLM output as untrusted user input.
