Unrelenting, persistent attacks on frontier models make them fail, with the patterns of failure varying by model and developer. Red teaming shows that it’s not the sophisticated, complex attacks that can bring a model down; it’s the attacker automating continuous, random attempts that will inevitably force a model to fail.That’s the harsh truth that AI apps and platform builders need to plan for as they build each new release of their products. Betting an entire build-out on a frontier model prone to red team failures due to persistency alone is like building a house on sand. Even with red teaming, frontier LLMs, including those with open weights, are lagging behind adversarial and weaponized AI.The arms race has already startedCybercrime costs reached $9.5 trillion in 2024 and forec [...]
Model providers want to prove the security and robustness of their models, releasing system cards and conducting red-team exercises with each new release. But it can be difficult for enterprises to pa [...]
When Cisco ran 6,986 multi-turn attacks against 15 flagship models, attackers who adapted across the conversation broke through as often as 88.3% of the time. Amy Chang, Cisco's head of AI threat [...]
It's refreshing when a leading AI company states the obvious. In a detailed post on hardening ChatGPT Atlas against prompt injection, OpenAI acknowledged what security practitioners have known fo [...]
VentureBeat recently sat down (virtually) with Itamar Golan, co-founder and CEO of Prompt Security, to chat through the GenAI security challenges organizations of all sizes face. We talked about shado [...]
A major red teaming study has uncovered critical security flaws in today's AI agents. Every system tested from leading AI labs failed to uphold its own security guidelines under attack.<br /&g [...]
A security researcher, working with colleagues at Johns Hopkins University, opened a GitHub pull request, typed a malicious instruction into the PR title, and watched Anthropic’s Claude Code Securit [...]
Four supply-chain incidents hit OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta in 50 days: three adversary-driven attacks and one self-inflicted packaging failure. None targeted the model, and all four exposed the same g [...]
A 27-year-old bug sat inside OpenBSD’s TCP stack while auditors reviewed the code, fuzzers ran against it, and the operating system earned its reputation as one of the most security-hardened platfor [...]
