Why "Security AI" is Not Enough

Protecting the model is secondary. The critical vulnerability lies in the data powering the AI.

Critical Insight

Traditional security focuses on the perimeter (firewalls) or the application (AppSec). In the era of AI, the Data is the Application. If you secure the model endpoint but fail to govern the training data or RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) context, you are fundamentally exposed.

The Investment vs. Risk Gap

Organizations are pouring money into "AI Security" tools that act as firewalls for prompts. However, the actual breach mechanics often bypass these layers entirely by exploiting the underlying data integrity.

1. The Traditional Approach

Focus: Network, Endpoint, Identity. Data is treated as a static asset.

2. The AI Reality

Focus: Unstructured data lakes, vector databases, and inference contexts.

The Two Battlegrounds

We must decouple "AI Security" into two distinct data disciplines: Modeling (Training) and Inference (Usage).

The Path Forward: Data-Centric Security

Shift focus from guarding the perimeter to governing the asset.

1

Discovery & Classification

You cannot secure what you cannot see. AI training data is often unstructured (PDFs, Wikis, Slacks).

  • Scan Shadow AI Datastores
  • Classify PII/IP within Unstructured Text
  • Map Data Lineage to Models
2

Modeling Governance

Ensure the "Food Quality" of the AI. Prevent sensitive data from being baked into the model weights.

  • Sanitize Training Sets
  • Detect Data Poisoning Attempts
  • Copyright/IP Filtering
3

Inference Controls

Control what the AI retrieves and outputs in real-time (RAG Security).

  • Context Awareness Filtering
  • Prompt Injection Detection
  • Dynamic Access Control (RBAC for AI)
