⚡ Lightning Talk - Improving Elastic’s Attack Discovery: A quantitative approach to prompt engineering and LLM evaluation - Gus Carlock, Solutions Architect at Elastic
Elastic's Security Intelligence team works to keep users safe, from writing detection rules and publishing best practices to forward-looking models to proactively defend against attacks. Elastic is also a creator of GenAI development tools, which not only enables our products but also those built by users of the Elastic Stack. In this talk we’ll share a behind the scenes look at how we evaluate the output of Elastic’s Attack Discovery, and more broadly, some tips on how to evaluate the output of LLMs.
