What Our Happy Alumni Say About Us

Prerequisites

No prior machine learning or data science experience is required. Students should have a solid foundation in general security principles and basic scripting (Python or Bash).

Target audience

  • Security professionals, consultants and red team operators
  • Ideal for teams who need to add AI vulnerability assessment to their toolkit and understand the unique logic and data flows of LLM-integrated systems

Learning Objectives

Delegates will learn how to:

  • Systematically assess LLM applications for prompt injection, data extraction, and jailbreak vulnerabilities
  • Execute advanced attacks including Crescendo, Greedy Coordinate Gradient (GCG), Prompt Automatic Iterative Refinement (PAIR), and Tree of Attacks with Pruning (TAP)
  • Identify Responsible AI violations across bias, privacy, misinformation, and harmful content categories
  • Leverage automation tools for offensive AI security, benchmarking, and agent building
