An attack where malicious instructions are embedded in user input to manipulate an AI model into ignoring its system prompt or performing unauthorized actions.
Why It Matters for AI Governance
Prompt injection is one of the most common AI security threats. Attackers craft inputs that override system instructions, extract confidential information, or cause the model to generate harmful content. Defense requires input scanning before the prompt reaches the model.
How CrewCheck Handles This
CrewCheck's LLM gateway applies prompt injection-related controls at the request boundary. Every AI call passes through detection, policy evaluation, and audit logging — ensuring that prompt injection is addressed consistently across all teams and providers.
The governance dashboard provides real-time visibility into prompt injection events, with drill-down capabilities for compliance officers and exportable evidence for auditors.
