The Prompt Security Detection System is a production-ready AI-powered security tool designed to detect and classify prompt injection attacks and jailbreak attempts in real-time. This system leverages Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically OpenAI's GPT models, to analyze text inputs and determine whether they contain malicious content designed to manipulate AI systems.
- Real-time Prompt Injection Detection: Classify text as malicious or benign using advanced LLM-based analysis
- Multi-Model Support: Support for GPT-4, GPT-4.1-mini, GPT-4.1-nano, and GPT-3.5-turbo models
- Production-Ready API: FastAPI-based RESTful service with comprehensive logging and error handling
- Interactive Web Interface: Streamlit-based UI for easy testing and demonstration
- Comprehensive Evaluation Framework: Built-in model comparison and performance metrics
- Enterprise Database Integration: PostgreSQL logging with pgAdmin interface
- Containerized Deployment: Docker-based architecture for easy scaling and deployment
