BRISTOL, England & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Immersive Labs, the global leader in people-centric cyber resilience, today published its “Dark Side of GenAI” report about a Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)-related security risk known as a prompt injection attack, in which individuals input specific instructions to trick chatbots into revealing sensitive information, potentially exposing organizations to data leaks. Based on analysis of Immersive Labs’ prompt injection challenge*, GenAI bots are especially susceptible to manipulation by people of all skill levels, not just cyber experts.Among the most alarming findings was the discovery that 88% of prompt injection challenge participants successfully tricked the GenAI bot into giving away sensitive information in at least one level of an increasingly difficult challenge. Nearly a fifth of participants (17%) successfully tricked the bot across all levels, underscoring the risk to organizations using GenAI bots.This report asserts that public and private-sector cooperation and corporate policies are required to mitigate security risks posed by the extensive adoption of GenAI bots. Leaders need to be aware of prompt injection risks and take decisive action, including establishing comprehensive policies for GenAI use within their organizations.“Based on our analysis of the ways people manipulate GenAI, and the relatively low barrier to entry to exploitation, we believe it’s imperative that organizations implement security controls within Large Language Models and take a ‘defense in depth’ approach to GenAI,” said Kev Breen, Senior Director of Threat Intelligence at Immersive Labs and a co-author of the report. “This includes implementing security measures, such as data loss prevention checks, strict input validation and context-aware filtering to prevent and recognize attempts to manipulate GenAI output.”Key Findings from Immersive Labs “Dark Side of GenAI” StudyThe team observed the following key takeaways based on their data analysis, including:GenAI is no match for human ingenuity (yet): Users successfully leverage creative techniques to deceive GenAI bots, such as tricking them into embedding secrets in poems or stories or altering their initial instructions, to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.Users successfully leverage creative techniques to deceive GenAI bots, such as tricking them into embedding secrets in poems or stories or altering their initial instructions, to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. You don’t need to be an expert to exploit GenAI: The report’s findings show that even non-cybersecurity professionals and those unfamiliar with prompt injection attacks can leverage their creativity to trick bots, indicating that the barrier to exploiting GenAI in the wild using prompt injection attacks may be easier than one would hope.The report’s findings show that even non-cybersecurity professionals and those unfamiliar with prompt injection attacks can leverage their creativity to trick bots, indicating that the barrier to exploiting GenAI in the wild using prompt injection attacks may be easier than one would hope
