實驗室: Continuous Automated 紅隊演練 Pipeline

Build an end-to-end CART pipeline that continuously generates, executes, and scores adversarial attacks against LLM applications, with alerting and trend tracking.

先備知識

• Completed Running PyRIT Campaigns
• Completed Regression 測試 with promptfoo
• Python 3.10+, Docker (optional)

pip install openai anthropic schedule pandas python-dotenv

Background

Continuous Automated 紅隊演練 (CART) shifts 紅隊演練 from periodic point-in-time assessments to an always-on 監控 posture. A CART pipeline runs automatically on a schedule or in response to events (model updates, prompt changes, deployment triggers), generating fresh attacks and tracking whether the target's 防禦 are improving or degrading.
