Automating Cloud Security and Forensics Through a Secure-by-Design Generative AI Framework

Researchers developed a secure-by-design AI framework combining PromptShield and CIAF to automate cloud security and forensic investigations while protecting against prompt injection attacks. The system achieved over 93% accuracy in classification tasks and enhanced ransomware detection in AWS and Azure environments.

• →New framework integrates PromptShield and Cloud Investigation Automation Framework (CIAF) to secure LLMs in cloud forensics applications.
• →PromptShield uses ontology-driven validation to defend against adversarial prompt injection attacks on large language models.
• →System demonstrated over 93% precision, recall, and F1 scores when tested on real-world AWS and Microsoft Azure datasets.
• →Framework enhances ransomware detection accuracy in cloud logs through structured, ontology-based reasoning across forensic processes.
• →Solution provides scalable foundation for real-time, AI-driven incident response across diverse cloud infrastructures.
