• Mitigating prompt injection attacks with a layered defense strategy

  This week, we shared more details on how we protect Gemini and mitigate threats from malicious actors utilizing indirect prompt injection attacks to exfiltrate user data or execute other rogue actions. Google takes a layered security approach, with security measures designed for each stage of the prompt lifecycle. From Gemini 2.5 model hardening, to purpose-built machine learning (ML) models detecting malicious instructions, to system-level safeguards, we are meaningfully elevating the difficulty, expense, and complexity faced by an attacker. Our model training with adversarial data significantly enhanced our defenses against indirect prompt injection attacks in Gemini 2.5 models. This inherent model resilience is augmented with additional defenses that we built directly into Gemini, including: Prompt injection content classifiers, Security thought reinforcement, Markdown sanitization and suspicious URL redaction, User confirmation framework, End-user security mitigation notifications. This layered approach to our security strategy strengthens the overall security framework for Gemini – throughout the prompt lifecycle and across diverse attack techniques. Rolling out now to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. Available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts.
