Abstract

This article examines the evolving security landscape for Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) systems as they become increasingly integrated across critical sectors including healthcare, finance, and transportation. The proliferation of these technologies creates both transformative opportunities and significant security challenges that require specialized approaches. It explores key security vulnerabilities unique to GenAI implementations, including data protection vulnerabilities, access control complexities, data anonymization gaps, model integrity risks, monitoring challenges, intellectual property concerns, and regulatory compliance issues. Building upon current research, the article presents a comprehensive security framework encompassing data protection strategies, access control mechanisms, model security approaches, network security architectures, monitoring frameworks, compliance guidelines, incident response methodologies, and zero trust principles. Organizations implementing these strategies demonstrate substantially improved security outcomes, including faster threat detection, reduced breach incidents, and enhanced resilience against emerging attack vectors. It underscores the necessity for purpose-built security approaches that address the unique characteristics of GenAI systems, requiring close collaboration between industry stakeholders, policymakers, and security practitioners to establish robust defensive frameworks while enabling continued innovation.
