Seminar: Secure operation of cloud LLMs
In-depth understanding of secure implementation for technical specialists.
Cloud-based large language models (LLMs) offer a wide range of possible applications, but require careful technical implementation. How do you choose the right model? What security risks need to be considered? And how can GDPR compliance be guaranteed?
In this practical seminar, technical specialists will gain a comprehensive overview of various cloud LLMs, learn best practices for secure deployment and configuration and find out which technical and legal requirements are crucial for secure operation.
Information and details about the seminar
Cloud-based large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities for companies, but at the same time place high technical demands on selection, security and compliance. The choice of the right service and deployment model has a significant impact on the integration and scalability of LLMs in existing IT infrastructures. At the same time, risks such as data leaks, inadequate access controls and regulatory requirements must be taken into account at an early stage.
An in-depth technical understanding is crucial in order to implement LLMs securely and efficiently in cloud environments. Best practices help to minimize security risks and technically implement data protection requirements - especially the GDPR.
This practical seminar is aimed at technical specialists who want to set up, secure and integrate LLMs in the cloud. In addition to an overview of various cloud models and security mechanisms, the first steps towards secure implementation will be developed using concrete examples and interactive demos on Microsoft Azure. The aim is to provide LLMs efficiently, control risks and create a future-proof basis for productive use.
