DeepSec 2024 Training: AI SecureOps: Attacking & Defending GenAI Applications and Services – Abhinav Singh
Acquire hands-on experience in GenAI and LLM security through CTF-styled training, tailored to real-world attacks and defense scenarios. Dive into protecting both public and private GenAI & LLM solutions, crafting specialized models for distinct security challenges. Excel in red and blue team strategies, create robust LLM defenses, and enforce ethical AI standards across enterprise services. This training covers both “Securing GenAI” and “Using GenAI for security” for a well-rounded understanding of the complexities involved in AI-driven security landscapes.
We asked Abhinav a few more questions about his training.
Please tell us the top facts about your talk.
It covers both aspects of AI security: 1. Using AI for security; 2: Security of AI.
How did you come up with it? Was there something like an initial spark that set your mind on creating this talk?
A transition from my cloud research into AI. Since many of these AI services and models are built as cloud services or APIs, I naturally drifted towards them and found new red-teaming use-cases that caused AI-based applications and services to misbehave.
Why do you think this is an important topic?
AI is consuming the world. Secure and safe adoption of such systems is of utmost importance.
Is there something you want everybody to know – some good advice for our readers maybe?
The workshop focuses on enterprise use-cases. It is less about academic research and more about common security issues one might encounter while building AI services for enterprises.
A prediction for the future – what do you think will be the next innovations or future downfalls when it comes to your field of expertise / the topic of your talk in particular?
AI everywhere is the motto of the technology world right now. It is expanding at a pace previously never seen in any tech adoption. This is both positive and scary. Positive because it will improve the productivity of humans and open up new avenues. Scary because this technology is far more intelligent and capable than what we have seen or built so far. A safe and secure adoption is the only way forward.
