This module establishes the foundational case for automating AI red teaming. You will explore the limitations of manual prompt engineering and human-in-the-loop testing when faced with the vast, non-deterministic attack surface of modern LLMs and agentic systems. Learn how automated frameworks provide scalable, repeatable, and continuous security evaluations, forming the backbone of a robust AI security posture in enterprise environments.
