Summary
Prompt injection exploits LLMs' inability to distinguish developer instructions from user input. Practical defenses include input filtering (blocklist/allowlist), instruction defense (pre-briefing the model), post-prompting (placing user input after instructions), and sandwich defense (instructions on both sides). No silver bullet, but these techniques raise the bar against common attacks.
