Summary

AI Under Attack provides a practical guide to understanding and securing modern artificial intelligence systems against emerging cyber threats. The book explains why AI security is different from traditional cybersecurity, focusing on new risks created by large language models, generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and autonomous AI agents. 
It explores major attack techniques such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, data poisoning, memory and context manipulation, and exploitation of AI tools. The authors present methods for designing safer AI systems through threat modeling, secure architectures, defensive prompting, guardrails, and Zero Trust principles. The guide also covers AI governance, risk management, compliance frameworks, red teaming, and operational practices needed for organizations deploying AI at scale. With practical examples and structured security approaches, the book helps cybersecurity professionals, engineers, and technology leaders build trustworthy, resilient, and responsible AI systems.
