CyberDudeBivash AI Defense Framework (CDB-AIPlay)

1. Prompt Filtering & Sanitization

   • Block unsafe response outputs at inference layer.

   • Use auto-moderation for AI-sourced content in ads.

2. Ad Delivery Controls

   • Flag AI-generated promotional content with links for human review.

   • Limit auto-generated links—even in paid promotions.

3. AI Red Teaming

   • Simulate jailbreaks (Echo Chamber, Crescendo) and test prompt resilience.

4. Behavior Monitoring

   • Alert on surge of AI-related outbound links or unexpected prompt patterns.

5. Policy & Governance

   • Restrict generative AI access to internal platforms with strict usage monitoring.

What This Means for Security Teams

• AI is no longer just an assistant—it has become a threat surface.

• Standard malware defenses fall short when AI is abused via prompts.

• Defenders must shift from perimeter policing to AI prompt integrity and ad screening intelligence.
