The blue-team route. Detect AI-driven attacks, harden LLM apps and their retrieval layer, secure agents, and purple-team the result.

6 modules · ~22 min total

See the threat

1T6 · Defensive Counter-AI · 3 minThe Defender's View of AI AttacksWhat AI-accelerated attacks look like from the blue side: the shift in tempo and volume, the detection signals that survive it, and how to frame your defence against the OWASP LLM and Agentic Top 10.
2T6 · Defensive Counter-AI · 3 minDetecting AI-Driven AttacksThe observable signals of AI-generated recon, phishing, and exploitation, how to catch prompt injection in application logs, and an honest account of what is and is not reliably detectable.

Harden

3T6 · Defensive Counter-AI · 4 minHardening LLM ApplicationsTrust boundaries, input and output handling, system-prompt hygiene, least privilege for tools, and isolating untrusted content, so that an injection you cannot prevent still cannot do much.
4T6 · Defensive Counter-AI · 4 minDefending RAG and RetrievalThe retrieval trust boundary in practice: document provenance and sanitisation, access control on the store, and defending against retrieval poisoning and embedding-space attacks.
5T6 · Defensive Counter-AI · 4 minSecuring AI Agents and MCPTool scoping and least privilege, approval gates, egress control, and sandboxing, plus defending MCP-server integrations against tool-description injection and confused-deputy chains.

Prove it

6T6 · Defensive Counter-AI · 4 minPurple-Teaming LLM AppsBuilding an offense/defense loop for an LLM application: test harnesses like garak, PyRIT, and promptfoo, mapping findings to controls, and continuous evaluation that measures resistance over time.
