Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

There are many reasons to adopt ISO 27001 , the international standard that describes best practice for an information security management system (ISMS). It helps organisations improve their security, comply with cyber security regulations, and protect and enhance their reputation. But implementing the Standard takes a lot of time and effort. That should be obvious, at least if you believe the phrase ‘nothing worth having comes easy’.

The ISO has rejected two symmetric encryption algorithms: SIMON and SPECK. These algorithms were both designed by the NSA and made public in 2013. They are optimized for small and low-cost processors like IoT devices. The risk of using NSA-designed ciphers, of course, is that they include NSA-designed backdoors. Personally, I doubt that they're backdoored.
