Doing so helps to prevent distributed denial of service attacks against the model, or other situations that would overwhelm the LLM with requests and disrupt its ability to process legitimate requests.

The firewall can be deployed in front of any LLM, Molteni told The Register.

This includes the well-known, public LLM tools like OpenAI's GPT and Anthropic's Claude, or private LLMs designed for in-house use.

Cloudflare's focus on AI security follows a series of LLM missteps and security snafus.

To address these emerging security issues, some developers are adopting an approach to security tailored to AI, while Google and others have expanded their bug bounty programs to include AI products and LLM attacks.

Considering how both the technology itself and the strategies to protect it against attacks are still in their infancy, there's sure to be a lot more noise and hype around AI and LLM security - especially as we approach the season in which big vendors stage their flagship conventions.
