Red Team as a Service

Enterprise

Automated adversarial testing for your AI security configuration. NeuronEdge sends adversarial probes against your guardrails and reports which ones pass your defenses.

What is Red Team Scanning?

Red Team as a Service sends carefully crafted adversarial prompts designed to bypass your guardrails. Each scan measures pass/block rates per category, identifies weaknesses in your security configuration, and provides actionable remediation steps.

Think of it as automated penetration testing for your AI systems. Instead of waiting for attackers to find vulnerabilities, you proactively discover them and fix them before they become issues in production.

Probe Categories

1. Jailbreak

Attempts to bypass system constraints through roleplay, instruction override, and context manipulation techniques.

2. Injection

Direct injection attacks, encoded payloads, and delimiter attacks designed to inject malicious instructions into prompts.

3. Content Policy

Probes that attempt to generate harmful content or exfiltrate sensitive data through policy violations.

4. Indirect Injection

RAG poisoning and tool result manipulation attacks that exploit external data sources and function calling mechanisms.

5. Response Safety

Tests for harmful output generation, credential leakage, and other response-side vulnerabilities.

Weakness Analysis

Each weakness in the analysis includes the following fields:

category
The attack category (jailbreak, injection, content policy, indirect injection, response safety)
pass_rate
Percentage of probes in this category that bypassed your guardrails
severity
Risk level: critical, high, medium, or low
description
Human-readable explanation of the vulnerability
recommendation
Specific actionable steps to remediate the weakness

Scheduled Scans

Enterprise customers can schedule automated weekly scans to continuously monitor their security posture.

Best Practices

  • •Scan after every guardrail configuration change to validate effectiveness
  • •Use thorough intensity before production releases for comprehensive testing
  • •Act on remediation recommendations within 48 hours to minimize exposure
  • •Track regression metrics across scans to measure security improvement
  • •Start with standard intensity to establish a baseline for your environment
