Today’s #DEFCONTraining Bahrain Spotlight is “AI SecureOps: Defending AI Applications and Services” with Abhinav Singh on November 3 & 4.

Can prompt injections lead to complete infrastructure takeovers? Could AI applications be exploited to compromise backend services? Can data poisoning in AI copilots impact a company's stock? Can jailbreaks create false crisis alerts in security systems? This immersive, CTF-styled training in GenAI and LLM security dives into these pressing questions.

Engage in realistic attack and defense scenarios focused on real-world threats, from prompt injection and remote code execution to backend compromise. Tackle hands-on challenges with actual AI applications to understand vulnerabilities and develop robust defenses. You’ll learn how to create a comprehensive security pipeline, mastering AI red and blue team strategies, building resilient defenses for LLMs, and handling incident response for AI-based threats. Additionally, implement a Responsible AI (RAI) program to enforce ethical AI standards across enterprise services, fortifying your organization’s AI security foundation.
