AI Application Security Testing: A Hands-On Guide to LLM Security, Prompt Injection Testing, RAG Vulnerabilities, and AI Penetration Testing with Python
What happens when an AI assistant exposes confidential data, follows malicious instructions hidden in a document, or executes an unauthorized action? Is your AI application secure enough to prevent these threats?
As businesses adopt large language models, AI agents, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), new security vulnerabilities are emerging. Traditional security testing alone may not detect prompt injection, insecure AI integrations, sensitive data exposure, and agent tool misuse.
AI Application Security Testing is a practical guide to identifying, testing, and fixing vulnerabilities in AI-powered applications. Through Python examples, realistic scenarios, and hands-on exercises, you'll learn how to evaluate AI security risks and strengthen application defenses.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
Understand AI application security fundamentals and common attack surfaces.
Build safe Python laboratories for AI penetration testing.
Identify and test direct and indirect prompt injection attacks.
Detect sensitive data exposure and unsafe LLM outputs.
Test RAG systems for unauthorized retrieval and document manipulation.
Evaluate AI API authentication, validation, and security controls.
Identify AI agent vulnerabilities and test tool misuse.
Explore AI security testing tools, including PyRIT and garak.
Automate security tests using Python and pytest.
Apply security fixes, verify remediation, and document findings.
Implement continuous AI security testing practices.
