New AI security research published!

I'm really excited to share that the Cloud Security Alliance just published the paper that my co-author Laura Cristiana Voicu and I have been working on for the past several months!

The paper looks at many of the security concerns related to protecting data when building systems that utilize LLMs. In particular, we cover patterns and best practices where the LLM integrates with other external information sources such as vector databases, SQL databases and external APIs while touching on more advanced use cases such as using LLMs to write dynamic code and autonomous agents.

❤️ This is my first time as the lead on a peer reviewed paper and it couldn't have happened without all the feedback and contributions from many others. In particular, Malte Højmark-Bertelsen, Erik Hajnal, Jason Garman, Damian Hasse, and Tim Michaud all shared a wealth of knowledge that made this possible ❤️

A big thank you to Josh Buker, Mark Yanalitis and Michael Roza from the CSA for helping guide us through the process every step of the way!

Let me know if you're working on interesting LLM based projects and want to chat more about your security concerns!
