Securing the LLM Stack

A few months ago, I wrote about the security of AI models, fine-tuning techniques, and the use of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in a Cisco Security Blog post. In this blog post, I will continue the discussion on the critical importance of learning how to secure AI systems, with a special focus on current LLM implementations and the “LLM stack.” I also recently published two books. The first book is titled “The AI Revolution in Networking,…

(20)24 x 7 Tech Trends: AI Readiness, Adoption and Integration

Technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace and predictions about coming trends are always a topic of debate – what’s real, what’s hype. While there’s always a wave of excitement around the next big thing, I think the last year has been different. Advancements in AI, especially generative AI (GenAI), are leading to a once-in-a-generation shift. This is opening vast new opportunities and transforming industries, modes of operation, and career paths. Not surprisingly this…
