Course Overview
Large Language Models (LLMs) introduce new security risks that organisations must understand and manage. Attack techniques such as prompt injection and jailbreaking can lead to data leakage, policy bypass, and unintended system behaviour.
This programme focuses on understanding common LLM attack patterns including direct and indirect prompt injection, jailbreak techniques, model extraction risks, and model poisoning concepts. Participants learn how these attacks occur and how to design controls to prevent and detect them.
Delivered as a mentor-led programme using practical scenarios, this course provides hands-on experience in analysing attack techniques within authorised testing environments and implementing safeguards to strengthen AI system security.
