AI security lab teaches LLM hardening locally with Docker

A webinar and accompanying lab guide have been developed to teach AI security concepts to community college faculty. The local lab environment, built using Docker Compose, allows students to practice hardening AI chatbots against various attack vectors without incurring API costs or requiring extensive IT resources. The curriculum focuses on prompt injection and other OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, demonstrating how an external security gateway can effectively protect LLMs, unlike relying solely on system prompts.

    Teaching AI Security: Hands-On LLM Hardening with Docker Desktop and Security Gateways

    <p>In August 2026 I delivered a webinar for the NCyTE Center on a question I kept hearing from community college faculty: how do you teach AI security when you don't have a budget, your IT department locks down what you can install, and API costs for a live LLM are unpredictable?…
