Introducing Mend.io's AI Security Maturity Survey + Compliance Checklist available today

Today, we’re excited to launch two practical tools to help teams quickly understand their AI maturity, quantify AI risk, and gather the evidence executives will ask for in 2026: an interactive AI Security Maturity Survey (with a personalized score and mapped recommendations) and a companion AI Security Compliance Checklist. Both are aligned to industry standards and built to be immediately useful in discovery, audits, and planning.

LLM Red Teaming: Threats, Testing Process & Best Practices

LLM red teaming is a proactive security practice that involves systematically testing large language models (LLMs) with adversarial inputs to find vulnerabilities before deployment. By using manual or automated methods to probe for weaknesses, red teamers can identify issues like harmful content generation, bias, or security exploits, which are then addressed through a continuous “break-fix” loop to improve the model’s safety and reliability.

Automated Red Teaming: Capabilities, Pros/Cons, and Latest Trends

Automated red teaming uses software to simulate cyberattacks and test security defenses, helping organizations find and fix vulnerabilities more efficiently. It automates tasks like credential harvesting, system enumeration, and privilege escalation to test security posture in a continuous, scalable manner. Beyond traditional systems, automated red teaming can also be used for AI systems, where it tests for risks like data poisoning or prompt injection in generative models.
