Your AI is Live. But is it Secure?

Everyone is jumping on the AI bandwagon.
From chatbots that handle customer service to complex systems that analyse market data, Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly becoming a core part of modern business.
It's an exciting leap forward in technology, offering unprecedented efficiency and innovation.
But with this new power comes a new and often overlooked landscape of security risks.
Many businesses are so focused on the race to deploy AI that they overlook a critical question:
What happens when someone tries to break it?
Not just hack your network, but manipulate the AI itself.
The New Threat: Manipulating the Mind of the Machine
The vulnerabilities in an LLM aren't like traditional software bugs. Attackers are no longer just looking for a way into your servers; they're looking for ways to trick, confuse, and coerce your AI into doing things it was never designed to do.
These aren't just theoretical problems. The global security community, through projects like the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, has identified critical new vulnerabilities. You should consider:
Could your AI be vulnerable to Prompt Injection, allowing attackers to manipulate it with crafted inputs and bypass its core instructions?
Is there a risk of Sensitive Information Disclosure, where your LLM might accidentally reveal confidential client data or trade secrets it absorbed during its training?
What about Training Data Poisoning? This is where an attacker could subtly corrupt the data used to train or fine-tune your model, introducing hidden biases, security backdoors, or causing it to fail on specific tasks.
Beyond Traditional Security: We Pentest LLMs
This is where Mongoose Cyber Security comes in. While you've been perfecting your AI's capabilities, we've been perfecting how to break them. We offer specialised penetration testing of AI Large Language Models, aligned with the latest industry findings.
We go beyond standard security checks to answer the questions you might not have even thought to ask. Our expert team simulates the actions of a determined attacker, using advanced techniques to test the logic and resilience of your AI. We identify the pathways that could be exploited and show you exactly how to close them.
We've put a diverse range of AI platforms to the test, helping businesses protect their innovations. From legal AI platforms, to construction-based AI, and cutting-edge property technology AI software, we have seen the unique vulnerabilities that different industries face. Our penetration tests identify and help neutralise these critical threats, whether that involves preventing data leakage, hardening the model against manipulation, or ensuring the integrity of its core logic before it goes to market.
Don't Let Your Biggest Asset Become Your Biggest Liability
Jumping on the AI bandwagon is a smart move for any forward-thinking company. But doing so without ensuring your new tools are secure is a gamble you can't afford to take. Before you fully integrate that new LLM into your business, let us ensure it's not just powerful, but also secure.
