Retrieval-Augmented Generative (RAG) applications enhance the responses retrieved from large language models (LLMs) by integrating external data such as downloaded files, web scrapings, and user-contributed data pools. This integration improves the models’ performance by adding relevant context to the prompt. While RAG applications are a powerful way to dynamically add additional context to an LLM’s prompt […]

As generative AI models become increasingly integrated into business applications, it’s crucial to evaluate the potential security risks they introduce. At AWS re:Invent 2023, we presented on this topic, helping hundreds of customers maintain high-velocity decision-making for adopting new technologies securely. Customers who attended this session were able to better understand our recommended approach for […]

Data security and data authorization, as distinct from user authorization, is a critical component of business workload architectures. Its importance has grown with the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, with generative AI introducing new opportunities to use internal data sources with large language models (LLMs) and multimodal foundation models (FMs) to augment model outputs. […]

Customers are finding several advantages to using generative AI within their applications. However, using generative AI adds new considerations when reviewing the threat model of an application, whether you’re using it to improve the customer experience for operational efficiency, to generate more tailored or specific results, or for other reasons. Generative AI models are inherently […]

The AWS Customer Incident Response Team (CIRT) has developed a methodology that you can use to investigate security incidents involving generative AI-based applications. To respond to security events related to a generative AI workload, you should still follow the guidance and principles outlined in the AWS Security Incident Response Guide. However, generative AI workloads require […]

Generative AI–based applications have grown in popularity in the last couple of years. Applications built with large language models (LLMs) have the potential to increase the value companies bring to their customers. In this blog post, we dive deep into network perimeter protection for generative AI applications. We’ll walk through the different areas of network […]

Mitigate risks like data exposure, model exploits, and ethical lapses when deploying Amazon Bedrock chatbots. Implement guardrails, encryption, access controls, and governance frameworks.

Have you ever pondered the intricate workings of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, especially how they process and generate responses? At the heart of this fascinating process lies the context window, a critical element determining the amount of information an AI model can handle at a given time. But what happens when you exceed the […]

In an ever-changing security landscape, teams must be able to quickly remediate security risks. Many organizations look for ways to automate the remediation of security findings that are currently handled manually. Amazon CodeWhisperer is an artificial intelligence (AI) coding companion that generates real-time, single-line or full-function code suggestions in your integrated development environment (IDE) to […]

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the imagination of organizations and individuals around the world, and many have already adopted it to help improve workforce productivity, transform customer experiences, and more. When you use a generative AI-based service, you should understand how the information that you enter into the application is stored, processed, shared, and […]
