Fortifying the Future: AI Security Is The Cornerstone Of The AI

And GenAI Ecosystem

By Rony Ohayon, CEO and Founder, DeepKeep

The rapid proliferation of AI technologies is bringing about significant advancements, but it has also
introduced a wide range of security challenges. Large language models (LLMs) and computer vision
models, key components of generative AI (GenAI), are particularly susceptible to vulnerabilities that
compromise security, trustworthiness, and privacy. New solutions are emerging to ensure the safe and
ethical deployment of AI systems to address these challenges.

Understanding the Risks

AI models are vulnerable to several types of attacks and mistakes:

• Adversarial attacks, for example when attackers mislead the LLM by adding adversarial content
to prompts.
• Hallucination, when AI models generate incorrect or nonsensical information, reducing application
accuracy and reliability.
• Data privacy breaches, when AI systems inadvertently leak private data.
