Course Description

This intensive, 4-day hands-on workshop provides a deep dive into the evolving threat landscape of Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on the updated 2025 OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications. The course bridges the gap between traditional application security and AI-native security, covering risks from input manipulation to architectural vulnerabilities. Participants will learn to identify, exploit, and mitigate critical flaws in LLM-powered applications, including RAG systems and autonomous agents. The training emphasizes a practical “offensive-defensive” approach, featuring labs for prompt injection, data poisoning, excessive agency, and securing output handlers.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Analyze and mitigate the 2025 OWASP Top 10 for LLM risks (LLM01-LLM10).
  • Defend against Direct, Indirect, and Multi-hop Prompt Injections.
  • Secure against Sensitive Information Disclosure in training and conversation data.
  • Apply Threat Modeling to LLM+Tool+RAG architectures.
  • Protect the AI Supply Chain (tampered models, compromised tokenizers).
  • Prevent Data and Model Poisoning in fine-tuning and RAG sources.
  • Implement secure Output Handling to stop downstream injections.
  • Constrain Excessive Agency in autonomous agents.
