Prompt injection works because language models struggle to tell the difference between trusted instructions and untrusted user content. Unlike SQL injection or cross site scripting, there is no clean deterministic defence, which leaves code, libraries and AI workflows open to manipulation at multiple points.

Join us for this week's Defender Fridays as we explore AI in the SOC with Josh Neil, Co-founder of Alpha Level. At Defender Fridays, we delve into the dynamic world of information security, exploring its defensive side with seasoned professionals from across the industry. Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to foster a collaborative space where ideas flow freely, experiences are shared, and knowledge expands.

Richard Bejtlich sits down with Stan Kiefer, Corelight’s Senior Manager for Data Science, to discuss how AI serves as a vital "abstraction layer" and "knowledge multiplier" for security analysts. Stan explains that while AI can synthesize complex information, it remains untrustworthy without high-fidelity network data at its center to provide verifiable evidence. The episode explores the shift toward an "agentic ecosystem" and a tiered architecture where a central orchestrator manages specialized sub-agents to accelerate detection and investigation.
