Chapter 5 Review: AI Threats and Vulnerabilities

A hands-on review station for attacks that target AI systems, the data and output risks they create, and the controls that make an AI deployment safer, all from Chapter 5.

Start Here

Five review stations, each a different way to practice Chapter 5. Work through them in any order. Nothing here is graded or stored, so use it as many times as you like before the quiz or the exam.

What this chapter asked you to be able to do

  • Explain the role of AI in enterprise security and the risks AI systems introduce, treating AI as a defensive asset and as a new attack surface.
  • Identify attacks that target AI systems, including data poisoning, model extraction, model inversion, prompt injection (direct and indirect), evasion, and jailbreaking.
  • Describe data and output risks, including prompt data leakage, training data leakage, hallucinations, and bias.
  • Match a control to the risk it addresses, from PII masking and rate limiting to human review, instruction isolation, and model governance.
  • Evaluate the ethical and policy questions that responsible AI deployment must answer, including explainability and accountability.
