As the adoption of large language models (LLMs) continues to surge, ensuring their security has become a top priority for organizations leveraging AI-powered applications. The OWASP LLM Top 10 for 2025 serves as a critical guideline for understanding and mitigating vulnerabilities specific to LLMs. This framework, modeled after the OWASP Top 10 for web security, highlights the most pressing threats associated with LLM-based applications and provides best practices for securing AI-driven systems.

The average data breach costs businesses approximately $4.5 million per incident. There’s no shortage of cybersecurity threats that can lead to scenarios like these. Even a single occurrence can be impossible to recover from. This is why it’s so important to leverage the right vulnerability management tools to protect your business data. Not everyone knows how to get started, though.

The release of the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025 provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving security challenges in the world of Large Language Models (LLMs). With advancements in AI, the adoption of LLMs like GPT-4, LaMDA, and PaLM has grown, but so have the risks. The new 2025 list builds upon the foundational threats outlined in previous years, reflecting the changing landscape of LLM security.

Happy New Year! As we usher in a year with some pleasant mathematical properties, I wanted to take a brief look back at one of the stories that was most interesting to me as a security data nerd from last year: our dependency on the National Institute of Standards and Technologies’s (NIST) National Vulnerability Database(NVD), and what the degradation in service has meant to the flow of information about new CVEs. TL:DR.

As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity and frequency, vulnerability management requires more than just patching systems; it demands a dynamic, threat-adapted approach.

As per a recent update from Fortinet, Exploitation of CVE-2024-55591, a recently disclosed authentication bypass vulnerability in FortiOS and FortiProxy, allows remote attackers to achieve super-admin privileges. By sending specially crafted requests to the Node.js WebSocket module, attackers can exploit this zero-day vulnerability to gain unauthorized access.
