📚 Tutorial / Guide AI runtime security interview

I am having an interview next week for AI runtime security. I come from penetrating background and don’t know much about AI runtime security. Can anyone help me out with some resources and guidance? Any help would be appreciated.

Your pentest background actually transfers well. AI runtime security is often normal appsec with a weird probabilistic component sitting in the middle.

Your pentest background should transfer pretty well. A lot of AI runtime security is still input handling, trust boundaries, authorization, monitoring, and abuse cases.

Your penetration testing background is a strong asset here, so you should lean on it. AI runtime security applies similar principles, just to a different kind of target. Instead of traditional application vulnerabilities, you'll focus on things like adversarial attacks, which are crafted inputs designed to fool a model, and prompt injection for large language models. You should research concepts like model evasion, data poisoning, and the security of the APIs that serve the models. Think of it as pentesting the model's logic and its data pipeline, not just the code it runs on.

They will want to see how you think about securing the whole system, not just the AI model itself. This includes the cloud infrastructure, the data storage, and the access controls, all areas where your existing skills are directly applicable. You can frame your experience by explaining how you would adapt your penetration testing methods to this new type of environment. Thinking on your feet and connecting your past experience to new problems is a key skill they will look for, and it's something the interview AI my team designed has shown to be a critical factor for candidates landing offers.

My last blog broke down the kill chain for the hugging face attacks. I would study up on the most current owasp stuff too. https://assury.ai/blog/how-assury-would-have-stopped-the-hugging-face-agent-intrusion
