Lakera – GenAI Security Readiness Report, 2024

The "GenAI Security Readiness Report 2024" by Lakera examines the rapid adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) technologies and the corresponding security challenges organizations face. The report reveals that nearly 90% of organizations are actively implementing or planning to explore Large Language Model (LLM) use cases. However, only about 5% feel highly confident in their AI security preparedness. This disparity highlights a critical need for robust security strategies tailored to the unique challenges of GenAI. The study also notes that 35% of respondents are concerned about LLM reliability and accuracy, while 34% are worried about data privacy and security. Additionally, only 22% have adopted AI-specific threat modeling to address GenAI-specific threats. The report emphasizes the importance of developing adaptive, AI-driven security measures and fostering a deep understanding among AI developers and security professionals to effectively mitigate these emerging risks.
