Jailbreaking LLMs and Agentic Systems
Cisco Senior Director of AI Research Amin Karbasi joins Virtue AI Co-founder Sanmi Koyejo for a conversational session exploring cutting-edge research on jailbreak attacks and defenses, Evaluation methods shaping the future of AI safety and How builders can design systems to be secure by default
Summary:
This webinar explores how LLMs and agentic AI systems can be systematically jailbroken through automated, scalable attacks, and how enterprises can respond with layered, continuously evolving defense strategies.
Key points:
- Jailbreaking LLMs is often a search problem, enabling highly effective automated attack methods like Tree of Attacks (TAP) and adversarial reasoning.
- Modern attacks increasingly use multi-turn and decomposition strategies that hide malicious intent across benign-looking queries.
- Automated red teaming can outperform human attackers in scale, cost, and consistency.
- Enterprise risk is best understood through business impact (cost, data exposure) rather than raw attack success rate.
- Traditional cybersecurity is insufficient due to AI systems being dynamic and context-dependent, requiring continuous monitoring.
- Effective defense relies on a “Swiss cheese” model: stacking alignment, prompt defenses, reasoning filters, guardrails, and monitoring.
- Agentic systems expand risk from bad outputs to harmful actions, increasing the stakes significantly.
- Enterprises should focus on safe tool access, employee education, and endpoint monitoring to reduce exposure.
