Mind the Machine – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode of Mind the Machine, host Florencio Cano talks about the concept of agentic AI, exploring what makes AI systems capable of autonomously performing tasks and the unique security challenges they present.

While agentic AI can revolutionize industries, robust security measures are essential to manage the security risks.

Two of the risks mentioned in the podcast are the risk of AI agents that interact with the operating systems and those that generate code.

In this episode we talk about AI Pentesting. We talk about the difference with traditional cybersecurity pentesting. We also talk about benefits and drawbacks of manual and AI automatic pentesting. In the case of AI automatic pentesting, we mention some open source tools to perform it. These are some URLs related to topic mentioned in the episode:

In this episode, we talk about ten very important security architecture patterns to protect LLM applications.

Open source guardrails software mentioned during the episode:

• TrustyAI
• Llama Guard
• Nemo Guardrails

Open source model evaluation frameworks mentioned:

• lm-evaluation-harness

In today's podcast, we will talk about what is prompt injection. We will talk about techniques to exploit it and security controls to reduce the risk of it happening.

In this first episode of Mind the Machine I introduce the podcast and myself, Florencio Cano. The podcast will be about AI security and safety. We will talk about security for AI and also about AI for security. I hope you enjoy it!
