Using LLMs for security
LLMs are a powerful technology, as they are trained on a large volume of data, often including source code. This enables us to use them in some classical scenarios where we need to extract information from large volumes of data in different ways, as well as more advanced applications, including code analysis and generation.
In the following subsections, we will examine the different LLM applications in cybersecurity scenarios.
LLMs for vulnerability discovery
The advancement of technology and industry demand has enabled the development of increasingly complex software systems. This means that we have large-scale systems consisting of complex code bases, where hundreds or thousands of developers contribute by creating code modules that are interconnected and provide parts of system functionality. However, due to increasing complexity, time pressure, and other limiting factors, it is inevitable that there will be errors. Sometimes, these errors result...
