Artificial Intelligence / LLM Penetration Testing at COE Security

At COE Security, our Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Model (LLM) Penetration Testing service focuses on identifying vulnerabilities and risks within AI models and systems, including LLMs like GPT, BERT, and other AI-driven technologies. As AI systems and LLMs become more integrated into business processes, they pose unique security challenges. The complex nature of AI models, along with their reliance on vast datasets and intricate algorithms, makes them susceptible to a variety of attacks ranging from adversarial inputs and data poisoning to model inversion and privacy risks.

Our penetration testing service for AI and LLMs simulates potential attack vectors to uncover weaknesses and flaws in your AI models, APIs, training data, and deployment environments. This proactive approach allows you to assess the robustness of your AI systems, ensuring that they are secure, reliable, and resistant to manipulation or misuse by malicious actors.

Our Approach

Define scope and AI components: Identify LLMs, APIs, data pipelines, and integrations subject to testing across training and inference layers.
Enumerate attack surfaces and inputs: Map user inputs, plugins, prompts, and APIs used to interface with the AI system or model.
Evaluate prompt injection and manipulation: Test for jailbreaks, prompt leaking, role confusion, and output manipulation through crafted input payloads.
Test model output filtering and alignment: Validate whether safety controls prevent toxic, biased, or harmful outputs in adversarial input conditions.
Assess training data exposure risks: Probe for unintended memorization, sensitive data leakage, and training data inversion through generative outputs.

Probe for plugin and API abuse: Simulate malicious use or chaining of third-party plugins, APIs, or external functions for unauthorized access.
Inspect authentication and session control: Evaluate token handling, session isolation, and misuse of identity in AI-integrated user workflows.
Analyze model behavior under adversarial input: Submit edge-case or malicious inputs to test robustness, hallucination frequency, and error handling logic.
Review logging, telemetry, and observability: Check for secure handling of logs, prompt records, and telemetry to avoid unintended data disclosures.
Report findings and provide recommendations: Deliver actionable findings, impact analysis, and tailored mitigation strategies aligned with AI risk frameworks.

Five areas of AI & LLM Penetration Testing

Internet of Things (IoT)

At COE Security LLC, our IoT Penetration Testing service focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their associated networks. As the proliferation of IoT devices continues to reshape industries, ensuring their security is paramount. Our team employs a comprehensive approach that includes assessing device firmware, communication protocols, and network configurations. By simulating real-world attack scenarios, we uncover potential weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. Following the assessment, we provide detailed reports with actionable insights and recommendations tailored to your specific IoT environment, empowering you to fortify your security measures and safeguard your assets against evolving threats.

Black Box

At COE Security LLC, our Black Box Penetration Testing service is designed to assess the security of your systems without prior knowledge of their internal workings. This approach simulates the perspective of an external attacker, allowing our experts to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious parties. By focusing on the application and network interfaces, we conduct thorough reconnaissance, vulnerability assessments, and exploitation attempts to uncover potential security weaknesses. The results of our testing provide valuable insights into your security posture, highlighting areas for improvement and offering actionable recommendations to enhance your defenses. This method not only helps protect your assets but also ensures compliance with industry standards and best practices.

Application Penetration Testing

Our Application Penetration Testing service offers a comprehensive security evaluation across a wide spectrum of application types, including AI/LLM systems, web applications, mobile applications, thick clients, cloud applications, and firmware. We employ a blend of automated tools and manual techniques to identify vulnerabilities specific to each application type, ensuring that potential weaknesses are thoroughly assessed. Our expert team analyzes everything from API security in cloud applications to data handling in AI models, delivering detailed insights that help organizations fortify their defenses. With a focus on real-world attack scenarios, we provide actionable remediation strategies tailored to each application, empowering businesses to enhance their security posture and protect sensitive data against evolving threats.

DevOps Security Testing

At COE Security LLC, our DevOps Security Testing service integrates security practices into the DevOps pipeline, ensuring that security is a fundamental component throughout the software development lifecycle. We emphasize the importance of proactive security measures, conducting assessments at various stages, from code development to deployment. Our approach includes automated scanning for vulnerabilities, manual code reviews, and configuration assessments to identify potential security risks early in the process. By collaborating closely with development and operations teams, we help foster a culture of security awareness and compliance. The insights gained from our testing enable organizations to address vulnerabilities swiftly and effectively, ultimately enhancing the security of applications and infrastructure while maintaining the agility and efficiency that DevOps offers.

Firmware Security

Firmware forms the foundation of hardware functionality and is increasingly targeted by attackers. Our Firmware Security Testing service focuses on identifying vulnerabilities such as insecure boot processes, hardcoded credentials, and unprotected firmware updates. We analyze firmware binaries, configuration files, and underlying code to detect and address risks. To support your engineering team, we provide actionable remediation insights and secure coding recommendations, ensuring your firmware is resilient against both known and emerging threats. With our assistance, you can safeguard your devices and maintain trust in your hardware solutions.
