This sprint introduces Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), defining their current use cases and organizational impact. We will explore real-world applications of GenAI while delving into their security threats, including data poisoning and model manipulation. Utilizing the MITRE ATLAS framework, we map AI-specific adversarial tactics and identify key threat vectors. As a result, participants will be empowered to accurately identify and evaluate GenAI vulnerabilities by leveraging the MITRE ATLAS framework, establishing a robust foundation for proactive threat intelligence and enhanced security measures.
Focused on establishing robust governance and secure development practices for GenAI, this sprint highlights the importance of organizational structures and AI governance. Participants will engage in managing data inventories, conducting threat modeling, and safeguarding privacy. By prioritizing responsible AI principles such as fairness and explainability, the sprint ensures that GenAI initiatives comply with regulatory requirements and maintain secure lifecycle management. The outcome is a comprehensive understanding that protects GenAI projects from ethical, reputational, and compliance-related risks.
Dedicated to identifying and mitigating advanced GenAI threats, this sprint focuses on deepfake detection across text, audio, and video mediums. Participants will learn to assess risks such as brand damage from synthetic statements and implement security processes to identify suspicious activities. Practical detection strategies, including anomaly detection and AI-based tools, are emphasized alongside incident response planning. The outcome enhances an organization’s capability to detect and respond to deepfake threats, ensuring the integrity of digital communications.
This sprint empowers organizations with advanced red teaming techniques and incident response strategies tailored for GenAI threats. Participants will engage in simulated attacks to identify vulnerabilities like data leakage and prompt injection, utilizing tools such as Confident AI’s DeepEval. The sprint covers response actions, including detection, containment, and recovery, ensuring swift mitigation of security incidents. The outcome strengthens organizational resilience and readiness to handle GenAI-related security challenges effectively.
Addressing the risks of unauthorized AI usage, this sprint focuses on mitigating the risks of unauthorized AI usage by detecting and addressing Shadow GenAI within organizations. Participants will explore the risk of data breaches, regulatory noncompliance, and operational disruptions caused by unmonitored AI tools. We also explore key strategies, including developing robust governance frameworks, educating employees, and implementing AI monitoring solutions, to mitigate the risk of shadow AI. The sprint concludes with recovery plans for containment and data restoration, ensuring organizations can effectively manage and recover from Shadow GenAI incidents.
GenAI Tabletop Exercise:
