AI Security

AI security covers defending AI systems and using AI for cyber defense, including model attacks, data poisoning, and secure deployment.

Definition

AI security covers defending AI systems and using AI for cyber defense, including model attacks, data poisoning, and secure deployment.

Plain English explanation

Protecting AI products from attack—and sometimes using AI to protect other systems.

Technical explanation

AI Security includes ML for cyber defense and controls that protect AI systems (input filtering, monitoring, supply-chain checks).

Why it matters

Security teams evaluate these vendors with different criteria than general IT automation buyers.

Real-world applications

  • Threat detection
  • Identity risk scoring
  • LLM application defenses

Benefits

  • Prioritizes alerts
  • Addresses novel generative threats

Limitations

  • Adversarial adaptation
  • Integration burden

Common misconceptions

  • Adding an LLM does not automatically improve security outcomes
