Responsible AI Summit Workshop Day - Wednesday 23 September
3:30 PM Workshop 4 – Red Teaming Agentic AI: Defending Against Prompt Injection in Practice
As AI agents become more autonomous and integrated into enterprise workflows, they introduce new and evolving attack surfaces, particularly through prompt injection and manipulation. Many organisations understand the concept of red teaming, but struggle to apply it effectively to dynamic, agent-based systems that interact with tools, data, and other models. For Security, Risk, and Responsible AI teams, testing these systems can feel complex, fast-moving, and difficult to operationalise.
This workshop takes a practical, hands-on approach to identifying and mitigating prompt injection risks in Agentic AI systems.
Attendees will:
• Understand how prompt injection attacks target AI agents and system workflows.
• Learn practical red teaming techniques for testing agentic systems.
• Explore how to design controls and guardrails against manipulation risks.
• Identify how to embed continuous testing into AI development and deployment.
