Generative AI has transformed the way enterprises build, interact, and automate. But as adoption of large language models (LLMs) accelerates, so do the risks. From model manipulation to shadow usage, these systems introduce new and evolving threat vectors, many of which traditional security stacks fail to detect or mitigate effectively.

At Typing AI Biometrics, we combine behavioral biometrics with advanced AI security tooling to help organizations secure every layer of generative AI. Below, we outline the top 10 risks facing LLM-powered apps in 2025 and how to reduce exposure while maintaining innovation velocity.

1. Prompt Injection

Risk: Attackers craft inputs designed to manipulate model behavior, override safety constraints, or leak context data. These inputs may come from users or third-party systems.

Mitigation: Apply input validation and structure prompts using strict system/user separation. Monitor for anomalous patterns using behavioral AI. Deploy guardrails to detect and neutralize prompt manipulation before it reaches the model.

2. Data leakage through outputs

Risk: LLMs may expose internal data, personally identifiable information (PII), or confidential content unintentionally through completions.

Mitigation: Implement output filtering and redaction. Use behavioral identity signals to limit access to context-sensitive operations. Enforce context lifespan policies and log access trails.

3. Hallucinations

Risk: LLMs often generate plausible but false information, leading to poor decisions or compliance breaches when outputs are trusted too readily.

Mitigation: Integrate retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with curated knowledge bases. Flag uncertain or unverifiable responses. Include human-in-the-loop (HITL) where business-critical accuracy is needed.

Biometric authentication is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s an integral part of our daily interactions with devices, systems, and services. As of 2024, fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, typing biometrics and voice authentication have become commonplace in consumer electronics, corporate security, and financial services.

But the landscape is rapidly evolving. By 2025, advances in hardware, software, and artificial intelligence (AI) are set to transform biometric authentication into a more secure, seamless, and privacy-centric experience.

1. Multimodal Biometric Systems

Traditional biometric systems rely on a single method, such as fingerprint or facial recognition. By 2025, multimodal biometric authentication will become the norm. These systems combine multiple biometric identifiers—like face, voice, palm veins, and gait analysis—into a unified security model. This shift is driven by the need for stronger security in response to increasingly sophisticated attack vectors like deepfakes and biometric spoofing.

Multimodal systems significantly reduce the probability of false acceptances and false rejections. They can adapt dynamically, choosing the optimal biometric method based on environmental conditions, user behavior, or device constraints. For example, if a user's face is obscured by a mask, the system may default to voice or gait recognition instead.

2. Privacy-Preserving Biometrics

A key focus for 2025 is privacy-preserving biometric authentication. Traditional biometric systems store raw biometric data (like fingerprint images) in centralized databases, which are vulnerable to breaches. The emerging approach is to use techniques like homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation (SMPC), and biometric template protection.
