Large Language Models face growing security threats from adversarial attacks including prompt injection, jailbreaks, and data poisoning. Studies show 77% of businesses experienced AI breaches, with OWASP naming prompt injection the #1 LLM threat. Attackers manipulate models to leak sensitive data, bypass safety controls, or degrade performance. Defense requires a multi-layered approach: adversarial training, input filtering, output monitoring, and system-level guards. Organizations must treat LLMs as untrusted code and implement continuous testing to minimize risks.
