Why it matters

Mindgard's guide frames how defenders should structure offensive and defensive AI-security programs around LLM- and agent-specific attack surfaces like prompt injection and tool abuse.

Mindgard's explainer compares AI red teaming (offensively attacking models, LLM apps and agents with prompt injection, jailbreaks, data poisoning and tool abuse) with AI blue teaming (defensively monitoring prompts, outputs and agent actions and enforcing runtime guardrails). The piece describes how red-team findings feed blue-team defenses and how often to run both, citing industry reports and studies on AI-driven attacks.
