Description

The video emphasizes that critical data protection requires implementing security controls directly in code, not just at the AI layer 0:00.

Key Takeaways:
• Security controls must be built directly into code to prevent data leakage for sensitive information 0:00

If you really must not leak this data, then you have to build security controls in your code base. I'm not even talking about at the AI [music] layer. I mean in your code itself to prevent that data from leaking. So for example, a really trivial example of this is arbback. If you're going to use uh arbback uh in your databases, that's a great way to prevent a security control. How would you mask out a street address? A street address is like really really hard to do with some reax and like what I would use a general rule. >> Also redacting anything with a number followed by text. >> Yeah, exactly. Like it's really really hard and we can if you guys want we can actually write the general rule for what a street address kind of thing looks like and we can talk about some other examples on the…
