A practical security guide for teams connecting LLMs to SaaS tools, internal APIs, and agent workflows. Explains the real risks in plugins, OAuth scopes, webhook trust, retrieved third-party content, and action execution across tool chains.
AI Agent Memory Security: Context Poisoning, Secret Retention, and Session Isolation
Agent memory is one of the fastest ways an AI assistant turns one bad interaction into a recurring security problem. Learn how context poisoning works, where secret retention happens, and how to design memory systems that do not become persistent attack surface.
LLM Guardrails in Production: Filters, Policy Engines, and Failure Modes
Guardrails are not a checkbox. This guide explains how real production guardrails work, where they fail, and how to combine prompt attack detection, output controls, and fallback behavior into something operators can actually trust.
Model Provenance Security: How to Verify Open-Weight Models Before Deployment
A model file is a software artifact, not a neutral blob. Learn how to verify open-weight models, reduce pickle risk, use safer weight formats, and build provenance checks into your AI deployment pipeline.
Secure Tool Calling for LLMs: Function Calling Risks and Runtime Controls
Tool calling is where an LLM application stops being a text system and starts becoming an action system. Learn the runtime controls, permission boundaries, and confirmation patterns that keep function calling from becoming an automation incident.
Multi-Tenant LLM Security: Preventing Cross-Tenant Data Leakage in Shared AI Apps
Shared AI platforms fail at the boundaries first. Learn how cross-tenant data leakage happens in prompts, caches, retrieval, and logs, and how to design tenant isolation that still holds when the AI features become more complex.
Self-Hosted LLM Security: Hardening vLLM, TGI, Ollama, and Inference APIs
Self-hosting an LLM gives you more control, but it also moves model, runtime, and network risk onto your team. This guide covers the hardening steps that matter for inference servers, private model pulls, prompt logs, and exposed GPU infrastructure.
AI Data Leakage Prevention: Prompts, Logs, Outputs, and Enterprise Controls
Sensitive data leaks in AI systems rarely come from one place. They move through prompts, retrieval context, outputs, logs, and evaluation traces. This guide shows how to build AI DLP controls that actually match how LLM apps are used in production.
