SANS Cloud Security reposted this
Last week, Anthropic published an article discussing techniques for building effective #AI agents. Here are some considerations: 🔥 While this may not seem directly related to security, understanding how emerging GenAI and LLM applications/agents operate and interact with surrounding systems is critical for effective threat modeling and mitigation. 🔥 Several frameworks are being used to build AI agents, with AWS Bedrock emerging as a notable option. This implies that GenAI applications will increasingly run in cloud environments, potentially accessing various resources—raising new security challenges. 🔥 AI agents are designed to interact with surrounding systems. Mapping and analyzing data flows are essential for identifying vulnerabilities and planning security controls. 🔥 Not everything needs to be AI. Keep it simple—use LLMs only when necessary, aligning their use with specific tasks to minimize complexity and reduce risks. https://lnkd.in/gmJCh95E
