Introduction to GenAI & LLM Security

Welcome to "Introduction to GenAI and LLM Security," a comprehensive course designed to provide you with a deep understanding of security within the realm of Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs). This course, a key part of our broader learning path, is crafted to offer you both theoretical knowledge and practical skills through detailed lectures and interactive labs.

Our goal is to arm you with the necessary tools for both attacking and defending LLM or GenAI applications, with a special focus on LLM-enabled GenAI technologies.As we delve into the world of GenAI and LLMs, you will gain a high-level overview of the vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and scenarios that are prevalent in LLM-enabled applications. You will discover that many of these security concerns echo those found in traditional application and API security, yet they present unique challenges and nuances due to the distinct execution environments of LLMs.

This distinctive aspect of LLMs demands a specialized approach to security, one that is both informed and adaptive.A pivotal component of this course is the inclusion of the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is renowned for its work in identifying the most critical web application security risks. Translating this expertise to the domain of LLMs, we introduce the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, a curated list specifically tailored to highlight the top security threats and vulnerabilities within LLM technologies.
