AI red teaming and LLM security testing tools

These tools attack a company's own models, LLM applications and agents the way an adversary would, sending prompt injection, jailbreak, data leakage and insecure tool use attempts and reporting what got through. Several are open source. A team needs one before an agent that reads untrusted content or calls tools goes to production, and again after each change to its prompts, model or tools.

Questions to ask vendors

Neutral questions for a request for proposal (RFP) or a security questionnaire. No product here is named as the answer.

  1. Does testing cover agents that call tools and act over several steps, or only single prompts and responses?

  2. Are attacks generated for our application, or replayed from a fixed library, and how often is that library updated?

  3. Can tests run in our build pipeline on every change, and can a failed test stop a release?

  4. When a test agent probes our systems, what can it reach, and how is it kept away from production data?

  5. How are findings scored, and does the report show how each score was reached?
