Best Practices
- Be Specific in Answers: Provide detailed responses to AI questions for better results.
- Start Simple: Begin with three questions, increase if needed.
- Iterate: Run multiple evaluations as requirements evolve.
- Review Carefully: All suggestions do not have to be accepted.
- Use Presets to Learn: Try preset scenarios to understand common vulnerabilities.
Run Preset Scenario
- In the HiddenLayer Console, select Attack Simulation > System Prompt.
- Click Need help getting started? to expand the section.
-
Click one of the preset scenarios. The Create System Prompt Evaluation slide-out displays.
- Optionally, you can change the evaluation name.
- Do not change the system prompt.
-
For Analysis Configuration, select the number of questions you will answer for this evaluation.
- The purpose of the evaluation questions is to try and tailor the new system prompt to the organization’s concerns and context.
- The minimum is one and the maximum is five.
- Selecting fewer questions means less guidance to customization on your system prompt. Selecting more questions guides the simulation on more customization toward security best practices.
-
Click Next. The analysis is started. Questions are generated; this may take a moment.
- You can leave the slide-out and return later to answer the questions.
- Note: You must return to the evaluation within 60 minutes, otherwise the evaluation process will timeout and you must start over.
-
Answer the questions based on your organization’s guidelines and goals.
-
Click Submit. The analysis may take a moment.
- An estimated processing time displays.
- More questions/answers in the evaluation will take more time to process.
- The elapsed time includes time spent away from the evaluation.
- When the evaluation completes, click the green arrow to view the results. See System Prompt Evaluation Summary for more information.
