Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming industries with their groundbreaking capabilities, but their adoption has also introduced significant security concerns. From adversarial attacks to privacy vulnerabilities and biases, securing these systems requires innovative tools and strategies that go beyond traditional approaches. 

This course offers an in-depth introduction to PyRIT (Python Risk Identification Tool), a cutting-edge framework designed to simplify and automate red teaming for generative AI systems. PyRIT enables security professionals and AI practitioners to uncover vulnerabilities, identify attack vectors, and enhance the overall security of their AI models. Throughout this hands-on course, you will gain a solid foundation in Generative AI and LLMs, including their structure, training processes, and optimization techniques, explore the risks and attack surfaces unique to LLMs, such as prompt injections, jailbreak attempts, and bias exploitation, learn to install, configure, and utilize PyRIT, while understanding its architecture and components like datasets, scoring mechanisms, and attack strategies, work through practical exercises to test models, orchestrate attacks, evaluate responses, and refine your security assessments, Discover effective strategies for mitigating risks, enhancing AI defenses, and ensuring ethical AI practices and develop actionable insights by creating detailed red teaming reports and understanding future challenges in AI security. 

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to use PyRIT for evaluating and securing generative AI models, helping organizations build more robust and resilient AI systems. Designed for AI/ML engineers, penetration testers, and security professionals, this course is an essential step toward mastering AI security in today’s evolving landscape.
