Assessment

Secure AI with Confidence | AI Penetration Testing Services

Firmus provides AI Penetration Testing services to help organizations assess, identify, and mitigate security risks associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI), Large Language Models (LLMs), AI-powered applications, and machine learning environments. Our assessments are designed to evaluate how AI systems can be manipulated, abused, or exploited by attackers, while validating the effectiveness of existing security controls and governance measures.

As organizations increasingly adopt AI technologies into business operations, customer-facing applications, and internal workflows, traditional security testing alone is no longer sufficient. AI systems introduce new attack surfaces, risks, and trust challenges that require specialized security assessment methodologies.
