Cloudflare firewall for AI will help secure AI applications
loudflare has announced the development of firewall for AI ,
C a new layer of protection that will identify abuse and attacks before they reach and tamper with Large Language Models ( LLMs ), a type of AI application that interprets human language and other types of complex data .
Matthew Prince , Co-Founder and CEO at Cloudflare
Backed by Cloudflare ’ s global network , one of the largest in the world , firewall for AI will position Cloudflare as one of the only security providers prepared to combat the next wave of attacks in the AI revolution – those targeting the functionality , critical data and trade secrets held within LLMs .
A recent study revealed that only one in four C-suite level executives have the confidence that their organisations are well-prepared to address AI risks . When it comes to protecting LLMs , it can be extremely challenging to bake in adequate security systems from the start , as it is near impossible to limit user interactions and these models are not predetermined by design . As a result , LLMs are becoming a defenseless path for threat actors – leaving organisations vulnerable to model tampering , attacks and abuse .
“ When new types of applications emerge , new types of threats follow quickly . That ’ s no different for AI-powered applications ,”
said Matthew Prince , Co-Founder and CEO at Cloudflare . “ With Cloudflare ’ s firewall for AI , we are helping build security into the AI landscape from the start .”
