Integrating LLMs into Your Business: Hidden Risks and How to Avoid Them

Artificial intelligence integration has become the de facto standard for technology companies. However, careless use of the OpenAI or Anthropic APIs can lead to serious security incidents.

Primary Attack Vectors

1. Prompt Injection: An attacker can trick the model into revealing system instructions or other users' data.

2. Data Leakage: Sending PII (personal data) to cloud APIs without anonymization violates GDPR.

Solutions

Use an intermediary AI Gateway to filter requests and mask sensitive data. Consider local models (Llama 3, Mistral) for business-critical data.
