AI Red Teaming &
Security Testing

Secure Your AI Systems. Strengthen AI Security. Deploy AI with Certainty.

AI technologies bring powerful capabilities but introduce security risks that traditional testing often misses. Prompt injection, data exposure, model manipulation, and agent misuse create new attack surfaces, further amplified in agentic AI environments through risks like memory poisoning, tool misuse, multi-agent trust boundary violations, and MCP integration vulnerabilities.

Ampcus Cyber helps organizations address these risks through structured AI Red Teaming and Security Testing. Our specialists simulate real-world adversarial attacks across AI models, GenAI applications, and agentic systems to uncover vulnerabilities, unsafe behaviors, and exploit paths. Our approach aligns with frameworks such as OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (2025) and MITRE ATLAS to ensure comprehensive threat coverage.

Beyond conventional assessments, we deliver actionable insights, risk-based prioritization, and security validation, enabling organizations to deploy trustworthy AI systems while meeting regulatory requirements such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001.
