As Large Language Models are shoved into everything from customer service chatbots to enterprise automation tools, developers are quickly learning a truth: traditional security approaches don’t work well with natural language inputs.

We can’t just sanitize a prompt like we would sanitize usual user inputs in a traditional application to prevent injections and XSS attacks. The entire point of LLMs is that they can process natural language and freeform text. And that’s exactly what makes them vulnerable.
In this post, we’ll dive deep into an architectural pattern called “LLM-as-a-Judge” and learn how this pattern works, why it’s effective, and how you can implement it to significantly harden your LLM applications against prompt injection attacks.
