Generative AI and LLM implementations have become widely adopted over the past 18 months, with some companies pushing to implement them as quickly as possible, according to search analytics company Elastic, which says this has expanded the attack surface and left developers and security teams without clear guidance on how to adopt emerging LLM technology safely.

GUEST OPINION by Asjad Athick, Principal Security Specialist at Elastic: Whenever a major cybersecurity incident occurs, there are two things everyone asks. Could it have been prevented,and what did the victim of the attack do to minimise the damage? The left side of that equation, prevention, is critical and is often the focus of cybersecurity strategies. This is hardly surprising, with the Australian Cyber Security Centre receiving reports of a new cyber-attack every eight minutes – a rate that has been accelerating annually.
