LLM Security: How To Safeguard Production AI Workflows

Large Language Models (LLMs) are now capable of reading emails, querying live databases, and executing real actions. A single crafted malicious prompt can cause significant damage, whether by poisoning data or manipulating AI to ignore configured rules. The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) outlines the main security risks associated with LLMs, which security teams use to identify common AI threats. These risks differ from classic application bugs, focusing on the model's reasoning, training data, and accessible tools, rather than just the network edge.
