In light of increasing security threats to language models (LLMs), the text discusses the importance of securing LLM deployments through four main pillars: data, model, infrastructure, and ethics. Incidents such as the 2024 OmniGPT breach and the Imprompter.ai prompt-injection technique have underscored the vulnerabilities of LLMs and prompted forecasts for increased cybersecurity spending. The text highlights how even small corruptions in training data can lead to significant biases in model outputs and how prompt-injection attacks can exploit model vulnerabilities. It emphasizes the need for infrastructure security, as misconfigured APIs can expose systems to adversarial attacks. Ethical risk management is also crucial, as generating harmful outputs can lead to legal liabilities and undermine public trust. The document advocates for treating these pillars as an interconnected threat model, where failures in one area can affect others, and stresses the importance of continuous monitoring, red-teaming, and layered defenses to manage LLM security effectively.
