1What is RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
2Why RAG Expands the Attack Surface Beyond the Model Itself
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Retrieval-Augmented Generation?
RAG is a pattern where an LLM retrieves relevant documents from an external knowledge base and uses them as context to answer. It reduces hallucination and lets models use up-to-date or private data.
Why does RAG introduce new security risk?
It adds data stores, retrievers and ingestion pipelines, each an extra target. Attackers can poison documents, extract private data or inject instructions through retrieved content.
Is this RAG security room beginner friendly?
It is an intermediate room that assumes basic LLM knowledge. It is free on Codelivly and explains RAG components first before showing how each one expands the attack surface.
