    AI THREAT MODELING

    Identify attack vectors in your AI architecture before attackers do. From LLMs to edge devices, we research how your systems can be broken—and how to prevent it.

    SECURITY STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING YOUR ATTACK SURFACE

    AI systems introduce attack vectors that traditional security assessments miss. Prompt injection, model manipulation, sensor spoofing, and agentic autonomy risks require specialized threat modeling that understands both the AI technology and real-world attack techniques. We analyze your planned or existing AI architecture to identify vulnerabilities before they become exploits.

    AI Attack Surfaces We Analyze

    From cloud LLMs to physical AI devices, we model threats across the full spectrum of AI deployments

    Agentic AI Systems

    Tool calling exploits, excessive agency risks, multi-agent coordination vulnerabilities, and autonomous decision-making failures.

    Tool permission escalation
    Agent goal hijacking
    Inter-agent manipulation
    Runaway automation risks

    Edge AI & Embedded Systems

    On-device model security, hardware attack surfaces, resource-constrained defenses, and update mechanism vulnerabilities.

    Model extraction from memory
    Hardware fault injection

    Safety boundary violations

    RAG & Knowledge Systems

    Document ingestion attacks, knowledge base poisoning, retrieval manipulation, and context window exploitation.

    Document injection attacks
    Knowledge base poisoning
    Retrieval result manipulation
    Context overflow exploits

    AI-Powered Applications

    Chatbots, copilots, and AI-enhanced products. Model API security, user input handling, and output validation.

    User input exploitation
    API abuse patterns
    Output manipulation
    Session hijacking via AI

    When You Need AI Threat Modeling

    Pre-Development Planning

    Before building, understand the security implications of your AI architecture choices and design security in from the start.

    Edge AI Deployments

    Shipping AI to devices in uncontrolled environments? Identify physical and logical attack vectors before production.

    Enterprise AI Integration

    Connecting AI to sensitive systems? Map the risks of LLM access to internal data, APIs, and business processes.

    Safety-Critical Systems

    When AI failures have physical consequences, threat modeling is essential for identifying safety-security intersections.
