Securing AI: A Blend Of Old And New Security Practices

Securing AI: A Blend of Old and New Security Practices

If you're fascinated by the rapid growth of AI, you must be equally concerned about its security implications. A recent research from Google Cloud decodes the complex arena of securing AI.

🛠️ The Secure AI Framework (SAIF)

Google introduced SAIF as a conceptual framework to guide how to secure AI systems. The advice is simple yet crucial: adapt your existing security protocols where they work, and innovate where new threats emerge.

🔄 Similarities with Traditional Systems

1️. Common Threats: Both systems need protection against unauthorized access, data modification, and other threats.
2. Vulnerabilities: Issues like input injection and overflows are common to both.
3️. Data Protection: Both systems deal with sensitive data that needs to be secured.
4️. Supply Chain Attacks: These remain a significant concern for both AI and non-AI systems.

🔀 Differences from Traditional Systems

1️. Complexity: AI systems are multi-component and hence harder to secure.
2️. Data-Driven: Vulnerability can stem from the data used to train AI.
3️. Adaptive: AI systems can learn and adapt, changing the security calculus.
4️. Interconnectedness: The web of connections for AI systems can open new avenues for attacks.
