As LLMs power more applications across industries, firmware and hardware security is now mission-critical. The attack surface has shifted downward, making Al infrastructure itself the new battleground. Securing GenAl involves both:
- Traditional cybersecurity controls (monitoring, patching, access controls)
- Al-specific governance frameworks (model integrity, supply chain verification)

The message is clear: securing the model is not enough—you must secure the machine it runs on. This talk will highlight the vulnerabilities in the infrastructure powering large language models (LLMs) and generative Al systems. It will focus on the hardware, firmware, and cloud components that support Al, revealing how these foundational layers are increasingly targeted by sophisticated attacks
