LLM Security: Risks, Defenses, and Best Practices

Large Language Models are now embedded in production systems across the enterprise. That makes their attack surface a first-class security concern rather than a research curiosity.

Why this matters now

This piece sits in Kirshi's Security & AI series, published on August 27, 2026. It looks at the practical engineering and commercial decisions behind the headline — what actually changes for a team building or buying in this space, and what tends to go wrong when the decision is made on enthusiasm rather than evidence.

The Kirshi view

We build AI, IoT and custom software for enterprises and startups across twelve countries, and our position on most of these topics is shaped by what survived contact with production rather than what demonstrated well. Where we think a technology is being oversold, we say so — and where it genuinely changes the economics of a problem, we say that too.
