A Security-Oriented Lifecycle Model for Large Language Model Systems
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.03626v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are being integrated into critical infrastructure and enterprise workflows at unprecedented scale,yet the lifecycle frameworks governing their development and operations were designed for operational efficiency rather than security analysis. As a result, security-relevant activities such as data provenance verification, artifact signing, agentic permission control, and decommissioning are often left implicit or assumed to receive due care. Governance frameworks, in turn, organise requirements around risk levels or manageme

Why it matters
“A Security-Oriented Lifecycle Model for Large Language Model Systems” shows why AI risk cannot be reduced to answer accuracy. Access controls, logging, human approval and incident response need to be designed into the workflow from the start.
