Next steps

Before you deploy any generative AI solution from an LLM provider (such as Anthropic, Amazon, AI21 Labs, Meta, Cohere, and others), we recommend that you evaluate your organization's data maturity with stakeholders to optimize security. Discuss patterns of historical data breaches and baseline what a successful solution should look like, what it measures, and any gaps. Identify data owners to obtain domain knowledge that can inform useful security features. Combining prompt template guardrails with LLM internal guardrails and external prompt validation mechanisms to recognize attacks is critical to balance security, safety, and performance. Interactions between security teams, business leaders, and LLM providers should continue regularly to evaluate guardrail mechanisms as data and use cases evolve. A collaborative approach will lead to responsible AI deployment.
