Issue: Pipeline timeout
Solution: Optimize test sampling, parallelize suites, use test prioritization

Issue: Flaky tests
Solution: Add retries, increase sample size, stabilize test environment

Issue: High false positive rate
Solution: Tune thresholds per model, improve detection logic, add allowlists

Issue: Missing coverage
Solution: Add custom test cases, integrate multiple frameworks, regular review
```

**Automate AI security testing for continuous protection.**

Overview

This skill integrates automated AI security testing into CI/CD pipelines to continuously detect injection, disclosure, safety, privacy, and availability issues. It packages quick scans, comprehensive suites, and red-team simulations into pipeline stages with configurable security gates and automated notifications. The goal is to shift AI security left and block risky model changes before deployment.

How this skill works

The skill provides test suites and orchestration that run as pipeline jobs: quick checks on every commit, matrixed comprehensive tests on PRs, and scheduled red-team simulations. Results are aggregated, evaluated against gate thresholds, and produce pass/fail decisions that can block deploys, create alerts, or generate reports. Integrations include pre-commit hooks, GitHub Actions, PyRIT, Garak, dependency scanning, and dashboard metrics.

When to use it

  • When you need automated, repeatable AI security checks in CI/CD for every commit and PR.
  • When releasing model updates and you want gating to prevent high-severity regressions.
  • When you require scheduled red-team or adversarial testing to validate production models.
  • When you must enforce privacy, safety, and injection thresholds before deployment.
  • When you want centralized reporting and alerting for AI security metrics.

Best practices

  • Run quick security checks on every commit to catch obvious regressions early.
  • Use a matrix of targeted test suites (injection, jailbreak, safety, privacy) for PR validation.
  • Keep gate thresholds conservative for blocking stages and tune them with risk data.
  • Store model endpoints and API keys in secrets; fail builds on secret detection.
  • Schedule heavier red-team runs off-peak and surface findings to triage and tracking systems.

Example use cases

  • Block a release when injection rate exceeds a critical threshold defined in security gates.
  • Automatically run a daily comprehensive audit and post summarized metrics to Slack and a dashboard.
  • Enforce prompt and model-config linting as pre-commit hooks to prevent insecure defaults.
  • Run weekly PyRIT/Garak orchestrated red-team campaigns and upload structured reports for review.
  • Trigger PagerDuty and email alerts for critical vulnerabilities discovered by the pipeline.

FAQ

How are gate decisions made?

Gate decisions compare test metrics to configured thresholds per stage; failures are categorized by severity and can block deployment if marked critical.

Can I run only a subset of tests?

Yes. The framework supports stage selection and test matrices so you can run quick, comprehensive, or red-team stages independently.
