With the rapid growth in generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs), new security risks have emerged. Developers of LLM-based apps are responsible for addressing those security risks. However, the newness of the LLM and GenAI space makes understanding and mitigating these risks more challenging than well-established domains like web application security.
The OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications is an essential security awareness publication that defines best practices for LLM security. Like the OWASP Top 10 for Web Application Security and the OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks before it, it is quickly becoming a de facto standard for informing security decisions in the domain.
