AI Red Team Engagement for an Agent Platform
Fintech Platform
A structured red team engagement that found prompt injection paths, excessive agent permissions, and retrieval exposure before launch.
A new agent platform was about to launch with tool access to internal systems. Leadership needed confidence the system was not exploitable.
A structured red team engagement: threat modeling, adversarial prompt testing, retrieval and permission probing, and a prioritized remediation plan implemented with the engineering team.
- Adversarial prompt suite
- Agent permission probing
- Retrieval poisoning tests
- Tool abuse simulation
- Automated prompt injection sweeps
- Permission escalation probes
- Regression suite for fixes
- Found exploitable paths before launch
- Closed permission gaps and added guardrails
- Established a repeatable red team methodology
A layered system
Each layer has a clear responsibility and a clear contract with the layers above and below. Read top-to-bottom for the request path; bottom-to-top for the data path.
- 01
Threat modeling
Adversary models and attack trees for the agent platform.
- 02
Prompt testing
Manual and automated injection and jailbreak attempts.
- 03
Retrieval testing
Unauthorized retrieval and poisoning attempts against RAG.
- 04
Agent testing
Tool abuse and permission escalation probes.
- 05
Remediation
Guardrails, scopes, and monitoring deployed with engineering.
