A surprising pattern we've observed is that many security risks in LLM production actually stem from insufficient prompt engineering, not just traditional vulnerabilities. Developers often overlook how seemingly minor prompt tweaks can expose sensitive data or unintentionally modify outputs. By focusing on robust prompt design from the start, teams can mitigate these risks more effectively than relying solely on post-deployment security checks. - Ali Muwwakkil (ali-muwwakkil on LinkedIn)
