Technical Interview Questions
Review the top developer interview questions for AI Red Teaming Training asked by IT hiring managers in Pune. We practice these live during mock interview sessions.
Q1: What is the difference between Direct and Indirect Prompt Injection in Large Language Models?
Answer: Direct prompt injection occurs when a user explicitly inputs malicious instructions to override system prompts (jailbreaking). Indirect prompt injection happens when an LLM processes untrusted external data (such as web pages, emails, or RAG documents) containing hidden payload instructions that hijack model behavior.
Q2: What is the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications?
Answer: The OWASP LLM Top 10 outlines critical GenAI vulnerabilities, including Prompt Injection (LLM01), Insecure Output Handling (LLM02), Training Data Poisoning (LLM03), Model Denial of Service (LLM04), and Supply Chain Risks (LLM05).
Q3: How does Microsoft PyRIT automate AI Red Teaming probing?
Answer: Microsoft PyRIT (Python Risk Identification Tool) automates multi-turn adversarial prompt generation against LLM endpoints. It orchestrates prompt injection payloads, sends test sequences, analyzes model outputs, and automatically benchmarks vulnerability scores against safety policies.
Q4: What is System Prompt Exfiltration and how do you mitigate it?
Answer: System prompt exfiltration occurs when an attacker tricks an LLM into revealing its hidden developer instructions, system prompts, or private API secrets. It is mitigated by strict delimiter isolation, input sanitization, and output filtering guardrails.
Q5: How do NeMo Guardrails protect production RAG pipelines?
Answer: NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails acts as a programmable moderation proxy using Colang rules. It inspects user prompts for malicious intent, enforces topic boundary restrictions, masks sensitive PII data in responses, and blocks jailbreak attempts before reaching downstream vector databases.
1-to-1 Corporate Mock Interview Loops
During the final modules of the course, we schedule dedicated screensharing mock interviews. You write code live on shared editors, explaining your runtime complexity and database designs to prepare for real technical rounds.

Student Success Stories
Real feedback from students who completed our 1-to-1 virtual AI Red Teaming Training training.
"The AI Red Teaming lab at CACTS is outstanding. The 1-to-1 virtual session format allowed me to execute direct and indirect prompt injection attacks, bypass LLM guardrails like NeMo, and test OWASP Top 10 for LLM vulnerabilities on active staging applications."
Akash P.
AI Security Analyst, Kharadi, Pune"Learned offensive AI security, prompt injection payloads, and RAG data exfiltration defense in a practical 1-to-1 environment. My mentor demonstrated how to hijack multi-agent workflows and build custom moderation guardrails line-by-line."
Tanvi S.
LLM Security Researcher, Baner, Pune"I needed hands-on experience auditing GenAI applications and AI agents. We used Microsoft PyRIT and NVIDIA Garak to automate vulnerability scans and build defense middleware. The trainer's practical AI security experience was evident throughout."
