LLM course

This is our 2-day beginner-intermediate LLM course

This course is designed for individuals with a beginner-to-intermediate understanding of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Whether you are a security consultant, developer, AI/LLM architect, or prompt engineer, you should have a foundational grasp of AI/LLM concepts and some experience with cybersecurity practices.

An immersive, intensive 2-day journey into the dynamic world of artificial intelligence.As LLMs increasingly becoming an integral part of various products and services, grasping their implementation nuances and securing these implementations is paramount for maintaining robust, efficient, and trustworthy systems.

Course Overview

Is it for me?

The rapid adoption of AI and, specifically, Large Language Models (LLMs), has opened new frontiers in innovation. And in attack surfaces...As companies rush to harness the power of LLMs in applications ranging from customer service to data analytics, they often overlook the emerging security gaps introduced by prompt injection, data poisoning, insecure plugin designs, and more.

Our course directly tackles these new challenges. Over two immersive days, you’ll not only uncover high-impact vulnerabilities that could already be at work within your systems but also learn how to patch them before they result in breaches or critical data leaks. In addition, we regularly update our modules and labs to incorporate the latest security breakthroughs, proof-of-concept exploits, and real-world incidents.

This focus on cutting-edge threats and solutions means that attendees can return year after year for fresh insights, continually refining their ability to secure AI-driven environments as new vulnerabilities emerge.

What you will learn:

This course follows a practical “defense by offense” approach, anchored in real-world scenarios and hands-on labs rather than abstract theory. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

Think and behave like a sophisticated attacker targeting LLM-based systems

Understand how attackers discover and exploit prompt injections, insecure output handling, data poisoning, and other vulnerabilities in AI workflows

Identify and exploit security weaknesses specific to LLM integrations

Practice detecting and attacking common pitfalls (e.g., plugin misconfiguration, overreliance, and supply chain exposures) in real-world lab environments

Implement effective prompt engineering and defensive measures

Learn to craft prompts that minimize leakage, prevent injection, and ensure your LLM responds reliably within controlled security parameters

Design LLM applications with minimal attack surface

Explore best practices for restricting AI agent functionality (excessive agency), hardening plugin interfaces, and securing AI-driven workflows

Apply forward-thinking strategies to protect training and inference data

Develop robust security controls in real-world deployments

Translate lab exercises into practical solutions by integrating logging, monitoring, and guardrails for continuous protection of LLM-based services
