New Tactics for Securing Generative AI

Generative AI technology presents groundbreaking opportunities but also comes with unique risks that require innovative approaches to security. While traditional risk management strategies can be applied, there are specific nuances to be considered when dealing with generative AI models.

One of the primary concerns is the potential for models to produce inaccurate or misleading content, known as hallucinations. Additionally, there is a risk of sensitive data leakage through the model’s output, as well as the manipulation of models leading to biases due to inadequate training data selection or insufficient control over fine-tuning and training processes.

According to Phil Venables, Chief Information Security Officer at Google Cloud, it is essential to expand traditional cyber detection and response mechanisms to monitor and prevent AI abuses. Utilizing AI for defensive purposes can also provide strategic advantages in safeguarding against potential threats.

Lessons Learned from Google Cloud

Venables emphasizes the importance of establishing standardized controls and frameworks to streamline the deployment of AI solutions. Instead of starting from scratch with each deployment, organizations should focus on the end-to-end business process or mission objective when implementing AI technologies.

Addressing risks associated with training data and fine-tuning is crucial to mitigating potential vulnerabilities. Preventing data poisoning and ensuring data integrity and provenance are key aspects of securing AI models. Implementing robust controls and security measures throughout the model training, fine-tuning, and testing processes is essential to prevent tampering and backdoor risks.

Filtering to Combat Prompt Injection

External threats can manipulate AI models through prompt injections, leading to unintended outcomes. Venables warns of the dangers of prompt manipulation and subversion, highlighting the need for rigorous filtering of inputs to ensure trust, safety, and security goals are met. Pervasive logging, observability, and access controls are essential components of a comprehensive defense strategy against model abuse.

Controlling Model Output

Managing not only the input but also the output of AI models is crucial to prevent malicious behavior. Implementing filters and outbound controls can restrict how models manipulate data or interact with physical processes, reducing the risk of adversarial or accidental model behavior. Organizations should monitor and address software vulnerabilities in the infrastructure supporting AI applications to mitigate operational risks.

By enforcing sandboxing, least privilege access, and stringent governance measures, enterprises can enhance the security of AI deployments. Independent monitoring, API filters, and observability tools can help regulate model behavior and detect unauthorized actions. Ultimately, a comprehensive risk and control framework is essential to safeguard AI applications and ensure defensive depth against potential threats.

Securing generative AI involves a multi-faceted approach that includes protecting, governing, and monitoring training data, enforcing access controls, filtering inputs and outputs, and implementing robust risk management practices. By incorporating these strategies, organizations can enhance the security and reliability of AI technologies in their operations.
