TLDR:
OWASP has released the LLM AI Cybersecurity & Governance Checklist to help CISOs implement AI securely. The checklist includes steps for deploying an LLM strategy, options for deployment types, and things to consider when implementing an LLM use case. The checklist emphasizes the need for a new mindset to protect organizations from generative AI, the importance of addressing asymmetrical warfare in AI security, and the holistic approach to AI implementation.
Chief information security officers now have a new tool at their disposal to get started with AI securely. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) released the LLM AI Cybersecurity & Governance Checklist. This 32-page document is designed to help organizations create a strategy for implementing large language models (LLMs) and mitigate the risks associated with the use of these AI tools.
The checklist provides a list of steps to take before deploying an LLM strategy, options for deployment types, and considerations when implementing an LLM use case. It emphasizes the need for a new mindset to protect organizations from generative AI and the importance of addressing asymmetrical warfare in AI security.
Overall, the checklist represents a milestone for OWASP’s effort to safeguard AI and unify AI security advice. It promotes a holistic approach to AI implementation and encourages the use of existing legislation to inform AI strategies.
