Summary

PyRIT (Python Risk Identification Tool) is an open-source framework from Microsoft for identifying and assessing security, safety, and responsible AI risks in generative AI systems. It helps red teamers and security engineers simulate adversarial scenarios, probe for vulnerabilities, and evaluate model behavior before deployment. PyRIT fits into the AI security stack as an early-stage risk assessment and red teaming tool.

Key Takeaways

  • Automates security and safety risk assessments for LLMs and other generative models.
  • Detects prompt injection, data exfiltration, bias, misuse, and content safety issues.
  • Provides reusable, scriptable adversarial scenarios for systematic red teaming.
  • Integrates into evaluation pipelines for continuous testing and monitoring.
  • Extensible Python framework with CLI support and SDK for custom tests.
  • Enables reproducible, auditable risk evaluations to support compliance and governance.
  • TBD
