ESIII is a novel defense mechanism that protects large vision-language models by combating visual attacks with adversarial techniques at their source.

• Addresses a critical security gap in existing defenses that focus only on text while ignoring visual attack vectors
• Implements an efficient defensive approach without significant computational overhead
• Maintains model performance on benign tasks while blocking malicious visual inputs
• Demonstrates effectiveness against sophisticated jailbreak attempts using adversarial principles

This research is crucial for secure deployment of multimodal AI systems in enterprise environments where visual manipulation poses significant security risks.
