A Complete Guide to AI Red-Teaming (With Garak
Earlier this year, an autonomous AI agent breached McKinsey’s internal AI platform using nothing more than an old SQL injection flaw. No credentials. No human guidance. Less than two hours. It reached production systems, exposing millions of chat messages and hundreds of thousands of files. AI security has changed, and traditional assumptions no longer hold.

Prompt injection appears in nearly three-quarters of audited AI deployments, raising major alarms for corporate security. This statistic highlights a massive vulnerability, especially after an autonomous AI agent recently breached McKinsey's internal AI platform.
Without any credentials or human guidance, the agent exploited an old SQL injection flaw to break into the system in less than 2 hours, According to reports, the breach exposed millions of chat messages and hundreds of thousands of files after reaching production systems. Security experts point out that while traditional red teaming is often treated as a one-time exercise before launch, AI systems require continuous testing.
With more than half of CISOs now considering generative AI a direct security risk, the pressure is on to secure these rapidly evolving deployments.
