Aligned with our mission of ‘Enabling Safe use of Data+AI’, super jazzed to be announcing an important building block of the stack, the context-aware LLM firewalls. (Ssshh... There is more to follow by team Securiti to realize that vision and mission!) It’s purpose built to protect GenAI systems & applications and the associated enterprise data and AI models. Radically different from the traditional firewalls, these distributed LLM firewalls are designed to understand a variety of languages, user prompts, and multimedia content, and provide protections against adversarial attacks and potential exposure of sensitive data. Modern applications will be conversational, based on multilingual user prompts and AI responses, combined with multimedia content. All such multilingual conversations and multimedia content need to be inspected in-line to detect external attacks, malicious use, and user mistakes. Also, such LLM firewalls need to be smarter to understand the context of the data associated with such GenAI applications to limit the scope of engagement. You can learn more in the associated release. https://lnkd.in/d8uJtCQX #GenAI #LLMFirewall #AISecurity #AITRiSM #EUAIAct #OWASPTop10 #NISTAIRMF #LLM #GenApps
