With rapid advancements in large language model applications, the distinction between open platforms and open-source initiatives presents a critical juncture for security. Security leaders must understand the security implications of using proprietary services from third parties compared to engaging with open-source LLM projects. As organizations navigate the decision between open platforms and open-source models, understanding the unique security challenges and opportunities each presents is paramount.

This session, conducted by Heather West of Venable and Vinit Tople of Amazon, will cover:

• Conducting a thorough security assessment for both open platforms and open-source LLMs, with a focus on key vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies
• Insights into best practices for safely implementing LLM solutions, ensuring robust security postures without sacrificing innovation
• How the evolving regulatory landscape affects LLM deployments
