Prompt injection has rapidly emerged as one of the most critical and least understood vulnerabilities in modern application security. As organizations race to integrate LLMs into customer-facing products, internal tools, and autonomous agents, attackers are already exploiting these systems in ways traditional security controls were never designed to catch. This one-day, hands-on training gives attendees a thorough, practical understanding of prompt injection — from basic chatbot manipulation to sophisticated attacks against RAG pipelines and autonomous AI agents. Using a purpose-built lab environment, attendees will exploit real vulnerabilities in LLM-powered applications, understand exactly why they work, and then build effective defenses against them. The course is structured as an attack-first, defend-second journey. By experiencing these vulnerabilities as an attacker, attendees leave with deep intuition about where AI systems.
