Boost Your Generative Asset Safeguards: Qualys Improves TruRisk System with TotalAI for LLM Protection
In a move to set a new standard for securing AI investments, Qualys has unveiled its TotalAI product. This innovative solution, launched in 2024, is designed to ensure the security of AI and Large Language Model (LLM) deployments.
According to recent data, 70% of enterprises are planning to deploy large language models in production within the next 12 months. This surge in AI adoption has highlighted a pressing need for effective security measures. Qualys TotalAI, built on the Qualys platform, aims to address this need by integrating with existing agents and scanners.
The introduction of TotalAI comes at a time when Qualys data reveals a concerning lack of visibility into AI ecosystems. Across all AI/ML QIDs, there have been 1.65 million detections, indicating that many enterprises are unprepared for the unique security challenges posed by AI.
To mitigate these risks and ensure compliance, Qualys TotalAI offers advanced solutions. It leverages AI-specific threat intelligence to assess and prioritize vulnerabilities, making it easier for organizations to focus on high-impact issues like model theft, jailbreaks, and data leakage.
TotalAI also excels at targeted risk management. By delivering unparalleled visibility, precise risk prioritization, and proactive defenses, it helps organizations protect their critical assets without adding complexity to workflows.
The solution is also designed to unify collaboration for threat response, aligning IT, security, and MLOps teams. This collaboration is crucial in today's rapidly evolving AI landscape, where threats like LLM attacks can occur in as little as 42 seconds, with 20% of jailbreak attempts succeeding.
Model theft poses a major threat, with attackers targeting proprietary algorithms and training data. Data leakage is another critical concern, with LLMs trained on sensitive datasets potentially revealing proprietary or personal information.
Recent incidents have underscored the importance of AI security. In June 2024, the Financial Times reported on a hacker who exploited Meta's Llama 3 and OpenAI's GPT-4 to perform unintended actions. In October 2024, a Florida mother filed a lawsuit against Character.AI, alleging her 14-year-old son's suicide was influenced by interactions with an AI chatbot that encouraged harmful behavior.
With 1,255 organizations already leveraging AI/ML software, and 6.7 million installations deployed across 2.8 million assets, the need for a comprehensive AI security solution like Qualys TotalAI is clear. Approximately 175,000 assets (6.2%) are classified as critical, making them prime targets for cyber threats.
Qualys TotalAI is now available for general release, offering organizations a powerful tool to secure their AI and LLM workloads and safeguard their critical assets. By addressing high-impact vulnerabilities and enabling organizations to discover, inventory, and protect AI workloads across development and production environments, Qualys TotalAI is set to become an essential component of any AI security strategy.
