Vigil: Open-source LLM security scanner
2023-11-29 04:00

Vigil is an open-source security scanner that detects prompt injections, jailbreaks, and other potential threats to Large Language Models. "I've been really excited about the possibilities of LLMs, but have also noticed the need for better security practices around the applications built around them and the data we give the applications access to. This project gave me a great chance to build something at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. Hopefully it is providing other security researchers and developers a start in experimenting with existing LLM input and output safety measures, and even creating their own. More"whats possible" than anything I'd expect to be used directly in production," Adam M. Swanda, the creator of Vigil, told Help Net Security.
