Case Study: Securing LLMs in Finance
Protecting sensitive financial data from prompt injection attacks.
A major financial institution deployed a large language model to assist with customer service and sentiment analysis. Initially, the model was vulnerable to prompt injection attacks, where malicious inputs could extract sensitive customer information or generate harmful advice. By implementing a multi-layered defense strategy, including input/output filtering and dynamic attention mechanisms, the institution reduced the attack success rate by over 90%. This enhanced security posture allowed for continued innovation while safeguarding critical privacy and regulatory compliance. The solution now actively monitors and adapts to new adversarial techniques, ensuring continuous protection against evolving threats.
