Building, pre-training, and fine-tuning an AI model is no small task and you’ll naturally want to protect your efforts from theft, denial of service attacks, malicious use, and other threats. In this blog we’ll go over the basics of keeping AI models safe from both legal issues and bad actors.

The rapid advancements in large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized how we interact with technology, powering various applications for different use cases. As the adoption of LLM-powered solutions continues to grow, so does the emergence of new and evolving security threats that aim to exploit these robust AI systems.

As the number and severity of third-party breaches continues to rise, companies are scrutinizing more closely not just how they handle data, but how their vendors do as well.

Today we’re excited to announce new and enhanced enterprise-grade platform capabilities that build upon our existing enterprise capabilities and customization functionality. Along with our new AI-powered Trust Center announced today, these capabilities enable mature organizations to run their security and compliance programs and demonstrate trust at scale.

When it comes to how employees get work done, personal devices are an ever-growing part of the equation. The 2023 Lookout State of Remote Work Security Report found that 92% of remote workers have performed work tasks on their personal mobile devices. While putting security controls on employer-owned devices is a no-brainer, the increasing overlap of personal with professional means that organizations need to think about how to secure employee-owned devices that are being used for work.

Digital transformation has resulted into an API-first economy where every organization is integrating deeper with customers, partners & suppliers. APIs are the gateways powering this integration. As per a Kong report in 2023, APIs will have a projected global economic impact of $14.2 trillion by 2027 – that’s more than the GDP of the UK, Japan, France, and Australia combined. As APIs drive growth, every organization will need to implement robust security systems in place for their APIs.
