Prompt Injection & Security Best Practices
Learn to identify and mitigate prompt injection vulnerabilities, securing your LLM applications from malicious inputs.
What is Prompt Injection?
Welcome! Today we'll tackle a critical security topic in LLM applications: Prompt Injection.
Prompt injection is when a malicious user manipulates an LLM through clever input, causing it to ignore its original instructions or perform unintended actions.
Think of it as 'hacking' the LLM's internal rules using text.
Why is it a Threat?
Prompt injection is a serious concern because it can lead to:
- Data Leakage: Forcing the LLM to reveal sensitive information from its training data or internal context.
- Unauthorized Actions: If your LLM is connected to tools (like APIs), an attacker could make it execute harmful commands.
- Misinformation: Altering the LLM's behavior to generate biased or incorrect responses.
