Securing LLMs with Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock

Kaye Alvarado2024-01-03T00:32:13+00:00

One of the pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework is security. It is a foundational concept when running your workloads in the cloud to think about privacy, access limits, compliance with regulatory requirements, and data protection; and this includes Amazon Bedrock. Along with several AI announcements during the keynote of AWS CEO, Adam Selipsky during AWS re:Invent 2023 was Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock. As AI technology evolves and becomes more mature, it makes sense to also reinvent the way usage is handled by security safeguards. Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock allow security policies to be applied across foundational models, to fulfill [...]

This is the first part of a series of blogs about the platform management of a React Application infrastructure using Terraform. In the early phases of a software development project, it is mandatory to have the application reviewed by security way before the Beta release to ensure that the app adheres to the standards of a secure web application and is able to protect the sensitive data it handles. Most of the time, DevOps Engineers are tasked to deploy the web application in a private domain to allow the initial load testing, penetration testing, and other security-related testing while keeping [...]

How to Install and Configure PHP OpCache with Web Viewer on Ubuntu 20.04

Nestor Mayagma Jr.2024-01-02T01:18:27+00:00

The performance of your PHP applications can be significantly enhanced by using OpCache, a PHP opcode cache. OpCache reduces the need to recompile your PHP scripts on each request by storing the generated bytecode in memory, resulting in quicker execution rates and lessened server load. Image retrieved from https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/flash-running-poster-custom-posters-design-your-own-wall-art-create-personalized-prints--792281759458556733/ This article will walk you through installing and configuring PHP OpCache with Web Viewer on Ubuntu 20.04.
