LLM Prompt Injection & Guardrail Security
Prompt injection attacks exploit the fundamental nature of LLMs where instructions and data are indistinguishable within the context window. While various defense layers exist, from simple keyword filtering to using a second LLM as a guardrail, each can be bypassed. Advanced techniques like ASCII smuggling, which embeds hidden text using invisible Unicode characters, further demonstrate the difficulty of securing LLMs against malicious input. AI
IMPACT Highlights the persistent challenge of securing LLMs against prompt injection, suggesting that robust defense requires a multi-layered approach and continuous adaptation to new attack vectors.
