What is AI system prompt hardening?

As generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and others become increasingly integrated into enterprise workflows, a new security imperative has emerged: system prompt hardening. A system prompt is a set of instructions given to an AI model that defines its role, behavior, tone, and constraints for a session. It sets the foundation for how the model responds to user input and remains active throughout the conversation.

Best AI Red Teaming Tools: Top 7 Solutions in 2025

There was a time when “AI red teaming” sounded like a novelty. Now, it’s fast becoming table stakes. If your organization is shipping machine learning or LLM-powered systems into the real world (especially in sensitive domains), you need to know how those systems behave under pressure. That’s where AI red teaming tools come in. These tools help teams stress-test AI the way it will actually be used (and misused).

What Is Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)?

Application security posture management (ASPM) centralizes and automates the monitoring, evaluation, and management of application security across an organization’s software lifecycle. ASPM provides a unified view of the risk posture by aggregating data from various security tools, such as static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and runtime protection solutions.
