As someone deeply involved in the ๐๐ ๐๐ป๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด space, I recognize the critical importance of securing AI applications.
Exploring the security aspect has often been overlooked in the frenzy of integrating Foundation AI Models into business operations and client-facing applications since late 2022. This rapid adoption has been nothing short of remarkable. However, it has outpaced the establishment of comprehensive security protocols, leaving many AI applications vulnerable to high-risk issues.
Then I discovered the ๐ข๐ช๐๐ฆ๐ฃ ๐ง๐ผ๐ฝ ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐น ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ project, which provides a crucial resource for understanding and mitigating these vulnerabilities. The top 10 most critical vulnerabilities include:
