Günay, Bengi
Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced AI systems trained on massive datasets to process and generate natural language. These models can understand, summarize, and create human-like text with remarkable accuracy. Since the release of ChatGPT, LLMs have gained widespread popularity worldwide. While they offer numerous benefits, they also present significant security challenges. This study explores the security dimensions of LLM technology. It categorizes and examines potential threats in detail and discusses effective mitigation techniques to address these vulnerabilities. Moreover, as part of this study, we will examine and analyze case studies of LLM vulnerabilities from PortSwigger’s Web Security Academy.
