3 takeaways from red teaming 100 generative AI products

Microsoft’s AI red team shares a whitepaper summarizing lessons from red teaming 100+ generative AI products, introducing an ontology for modeling attacks and detailing case studies across security, responsible AI, dangerous capabilities, and psychosocial harms. Key takeaways stress that GenAI amplifies existing risks and introduces new vectors (e.g., prompt injection, SSRF via outdated components), that human expertise remains essential alongside tools like PyRIT, and that defense-in-depth with iterative break‑fix cycles is necessary to manage evolving threats.
