60、nteractions between AI systems and other components within the organizations infrastructure,including APIs,databases,and external services.Identifying Potential Attack Vectors:This involves examining how attackers could target AIsystems,such as through data poisoning,model manipulation,or inference
61、attacks.Assessing Security Controls:This entails evaluating the effectiveness of existing securitycontrols and mechanisms implemented within AI systems to mitigate potential threats andvulnerabilities(see CSA Large Language Model(LLM)Threats Taxonomy).The following are the cross-cutting responsibili
62、ties associated with threat modeling:1.Evaluation Criteria:The organization should establish quantifiable metrics to assess theeffectiveness of its AI Threat Modeling.Metrics might include the number of identified threats,the severity of vulnerabilities,and the rate of successful threat mitigation.2
63、.RACI Model:The RACI model helps clarify organizational roles and responsibilities regardingAI/ML Threat Modeling.Key personnel must be designated Responsible,Accountable,Consulted,or Informed,ensuring apparent oversight and accountability throughout the threat modelingprocess.3.High-level Implement
64、ation Strategies:Implementing GRC responsibilities for AI/ML ThreatModeling involves developing and executing high-level strategies that outline the organizationsapproach to threat modeling.These strategies should address obstacles such as resourceconstraints and resistance to change.4.Continuous Mo
65、nitoring and Reporting:Continuous monitoring tools and reportingmechanisms are essential for maintaining the integrity of AI/ML Threat Modeling efforts.Real-time alerts,audit trails,and regular reporting enable the organization to promptly identifyand address security incidents or compliance breache
66、s.5.Access Control:Access control mechanisms safeguard the AI/ML Threat Modeling process.Theorganization must implement robust controls to manage access to sensitive data,modelregistries,and other critical assets involved in threat modeling.6.Applicable Frameworks and Regulations:NIST AI RMF,NIST SS
67、DF,NIST 800-53.Some topthreat modeling frameworks,such as STRIDE,Microsoft;MITRE ATT&CK,MITRE;and OCTAVE,Carnegie Mellon University.1.2 Risk AssessmentsRisk assessments are significant within AI initiatives as they identify and analyze potential risks across theentire AI lifecycle.The risk assessmen
68、t steps are as follows.Copyright 2024,Cloud Security Alliance.All rights reserved.131.Identifying Risks:In conducting a risk assessment for AI initiatives,its essential to methodicallyidentify all potential risks stemming from AI technology and its usage.These risks may originate fromdiverse sources
69、,such as data quality issues(see AI Organizational Responsibilities-Core SecurityResponsibilities),algorithmic bias,cybersecurity threats,regulatory compliance issues,and ethicalconsiderations.Some applicable risk taxonomies for AI initiatives include:Data Risks:Risks related to the quality,integrit
70、y,privacy,and security of data used in AI systems.Model Risks:Risks associated with the development,validation,and deployment of AI models,including bias,fairness,accuracy,and interpretability.Operational Risks:Risks arising from the day-to-day operation of AI systems,such asperformance degradation,
71、system failures,and inadequate monitoring.Ethical Risks:Risks related to AIs ethical implications,including unintended consequences,societal impacts,and potential harm to individuals or groups.Regulatory Risks:Risks stemming from non-compliance with laws,regulations,and industrystandards governing A
72、I usage,data protection,and privacy.Legal Risks:Risks associated with potential legal liabilities,lawsuits,and disputes arising fromAI-related activities,including intellectual property infringement and contractual obligations.Reputational Risks:Risks to an organizations reputation and brand image r
73、esulting fromnegative publicity,public backlash,or loss of trust due to AI-related incidents or controversies.Strategic Risks:Risks related to aligning AI initiatives with organizational objectives,long-termstrategy,and stakeholder expectations.Financial Risks:Risks associated with the financial imp
74、lications of AI projects,including budgetoverruns,cost uncertainties,and failure to realize expected returns on investment.Supply Chain Risks:Risks arising from dependencies on third-party vendors,suppliers,orservice providers involved in the development,deployment,or maintenance of AI systems.Some
75、possible AI Threat categories are documented in another CSA AI document.2.Analyzing Risks:Once identified,risks must be analyzed to assess their potential impact andlikelihood of occurrence.This analysis involves evaluating the severity of each risk and its potentialconsequences on the organization,
76、its stakeholders,and the broader ecosystem.Additionally,risks may beprioritized based on their criticality and the organizations risk tolerance levels.Through rigorous analysis,organizations can prioritize their efforts and resources toward addressing the most significant risks.Thisprocess involves
77、several key components.Severity Assessment:Risks are evaluated based on severity,encompassing the potentialconsequences they pose to the organization,its stakeholders,and the broader ecosystem.This Copyright 2024,Cloud Security Alliance.All rights reserved.14assessment considers financial losses,rep
78、utational damage,regulatory penalties,and operationaldisruptions.Consequence Evaluation:Risks are further evaluated based on their potential consequences,including direct and indirect impacts on the organization and its stakeholders.This includesassessing the extent to which risks may affect busines
79、s operations,customer trust,marketcompetitiveness,and legal compliance.Likelihood Determination:Risks are assessed for their likelihood of occurrence,consideringfactors such as historical data,industry trends,internal controls,and external threats.Likelihoodassessments help organizations gauge the p
80、robability of risks materializing and inform decisionsabout risk management priorities and resource allocations.Prioritization Criteria:Risks are prioritized based on their criticality and the organizations risktolerance levels.This involves establishing criteria for prioritizing risks,such as the p
81、otentialmagnitude of impact,the likelihood of occurrence,the urgency of response,and theorganizations strategic objectives.Risks that pose the greatest threat to the organizationsobjectives and operations are prioritized for mitigation efforts.Rigorous Analysis:The risk analysis process involves rig
82、orous scrutiny and examination of eachidentified risk using quantitative and qualitative methods.This may include statistical modeling,scenario analysis,sensitivity testing,expert judgment,and stakeholder consultations to gatherdiverse perspectives and insights.By thoroughly analyzing identified ris
83、ks,organizations can gain a deeper understanding of their potentialimpacts and likelihood.This enables them to prioritize their risk management efforts effectively andallocate resources to address the risks based on the priority of criticality.This informed approach helpsorganizations enhance their
84、resilience and preparedness to manage risks proactively.3.Technical Controls:Implementing technical controls involves leveraging security mechanisms,protocols,and tools to safeguard AI systems against potential threats and vulnerabilities.This may includeencryption techniques to protect data integri
85、ty and confidentiality,role-based access controls to ensureappropriate access to data,least privilege access,and detection systems to mitigate and respond tomalicious activities.Data Governance Practices:Enhancing data governance practices involves establishing robustpolicies,procedures,and standard
86、s for managing and protecting data throughout its lifecycle.This includes data quality assurance measures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of trainingdata,data lineage tracking to maintain transparency and accountability,and data access controlsto enforce privacy and security requirements.Safe
87、ty Evaluations and Mitigations:Developing safety evaluations is essential for AI systemssafe and secure function.Hallucinations,overreliance,bias,and harmful outputs should bemitigated at stages across the software development lifecycle.Cybersecurity Measures:Establishing robust cybersecurity measur
88、es involves implementingcomprehensive security protocols and practices to defend against cyber threats and attacks.Thisincludes network security measures to protect AI systems from unauthorized access and data Copyright 2024,Cloud Security Alliance.All rights reserved.15breaches,endpoint security me
89、asures to secure devices and endpoints connected to AI systems,and threat intelligence programs to proactively identify and mitigate emerging threats.Risk Management Objectives Alignment:Ensuring that mitigation efforts are aligned with theorganizations overall risk management objectives involves in
90、tegrating risk mitigation strategiesinto broader risk management frameworks and processes.This includes aligning mitigationefforts with organizational priorities,resource allocations,and risk tolerance levels to effectivelyaddress identified risks and vulnerabilities.The following addresses six area

100、e deployed.Thesesimulations should be performed in conditions that are as close as possible to the real-world conditionsthe systems will operate in.Below are some of the attack simulations based on the above threats.1.Scenario:Data Poisoning AttackThreat:Malicious actors inject false or manipulated
101、data into the training datasets todevelop AI models.Impact:The AI model learns from the poisoned data,resulting in inaccurate predictionsor decisions during deployment.Likelihood:Moderate to High,especially if the training data sources are not adequatelysecured or vetted.Simulation:Simulate an attac
102、k where an adversary gains unauthorized access to thetraining data repository and injects fabricated data instances designed to skew the AImodels learning process(integrity)or prevent a subset of new or old data from beingaccessed(availability).Some examples include Labeling poisoning-changing the d
103、atalabels;targeted poisoning-introducing small amounts of new data that will interfere withthe training process;and Backdoor poisoning-changing the original data in some way(flipping a pixel)to interfere with training.Mitigation:Implement data validation and anomaly detection mechanisms to identifya
104、nd mitigate poisoned data instances during training.Additionally,access controls andencryption should be employed to protect the integrity of training datasets.Taking aproactive measure to train adversarial samples could enable the model to flag and evenstop certain data poisoning,limiting the impac
105、t of the data poisoning.Copyright 2024,Cloud Security Alliance.All rights reserved.172.Scenario:Adversarial Examples AttackThreat:Adversaries craft inputs(e.g.,images,text)designed to deceive AI models andproduce incorrect outputs.Impact:The AI model misclassifies or misinterprets adversarial inputs
106、,leading toerroneous outcomes in real-world applications.Likelihood:Moderate,adversarial examples can be generated using specializedtechniques that exploit vulnerabilities in AI model architectures.Simulation:Generate adversarial examples targeting a deployed AI model(e.g.,imagerecognition system)an
107、d assess its robustness against such attacks by measuring theaccuracy of predictions on adversarial inputs.Mitigation:Employ adversarial training techniques during the model development phaseto enhance the models resilience against adversarial examples.Regularly update andretrain AI models using div
108、erse datasets to improve generalization and robustness.3.Scenario:Model Inversion AttackThreat:Adversaries exploit the outputs of an AI model to infer sensitive informationabout the training data or individual data subjects.Impact:Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information,such as personal
109、attributesor proprietary knowledge,inferred from AI model outputs.Likelihood:Low to Moderate,depending on the sensitivity of the data and thetransparency of model outputs.Simulation:Conduct a model inversion attack by leveraging the outputs of a deployedAI model(e.g.,a facial recognition system)to r
110、econstruct sensitive training data or inferprivate attributes of individuals.Mitigation:Implement privacy-preserving techniques such as data minimization,dataencryption,differential privacy,federated learning,or input/output perturbation tomitigate the risk of information leakage through model outpu
111、ts.Additionally,access tosensitive model outputs should be limited,and access controls should be implemented torestrict unauthorized disclosures.Regularly updating and retraining the model could alsohelp it adapt to the latest threats.4.Scenario:Model Evasion AttackThreat:Adversaries manipulate inpu
112、t data to evade detection or classification byAI-based security systems(e.g.,intrusion detection systems and malware detectors).Impact:Successful evasion of AI-based security defenses,leading to undetectedmalicious activities or vulnerabilities exploited by attackers.Copyright 2024,Cloud Security Al
113、liance.All rights reserved.18Likelihood:Moderate to High,as adversaries continuously evolve evasion techniques tobypass AI-based security measures.Simulation:Design and execute evasion attacks against AI-based security systems usingadversarial inputs crafted to evade detection or trigger false alarm
114、s.Mitigation:Enhance the resilience of AI-based security systems by integrating multipledetection mechanisms and employing ensemble learning techniques to detect andmitigate evasion attempts.Regularly update and retrain security models using real-worldattack data to adapt to evolving threats and eva
115、sion tactics.Additionally,anomalydetection and scoring should be implemented to identify suspicious patterns indicative ofevasion attempts.Input monitoring and sanitizing can also help reduce evasion attacks.The following addresses six areas of cross-cutting concerts for this responsibility item.1.E

222、proach empowers organizations to maintain ahigh standard of accountability and transparency,safeguarding against risks while fostering trust in AIapplications.1.7:Risk MitigationRisk Mitigation is an approach to managing potential threats and uncertainties in AI systems andoperations.It encompasses
223、four primary strategies for handling risks.The first is risk avoidance,whichinvolves identifying and eliminating high-risk AI applications or processes entirely,thereby preventing therisk from materializing.Second,risk reduction or mitigation focuses on implementing controls andmeasures to decrease
224、either the likelihood of a risk occurring or its potential impact if it does occur.Thiscould include technical safeguards,process improvements,or enhanced monitoring systems.Third,risktransfer,which involves shifting the potential impact of a risk to another party,typically through insurancepolicies
225、 or contractual agreements,thus protecting the organization from bearing the full brunt ofnegative outcomes.Finally,risk acceptance is a deliberate decision to acknowledge and retain certainrisks,usually low-impact ones,after careful evaluation and cost-benefit analysis.This strategy is oftenemploye
226、d when the cost of other risk-handling methods outweighs the potential impact of the risk itself.By employing these four strategies in a balanced and informed manner,organizations can effectivelymanage the complex risk landscape associated with AI technologies,ensuring robust protection while stillf

239、al properties of the input data over time.It occurs when thedata the model was trained on gradually becomes outdated and less relevant for production.As a result,the model performance may degrade.Thus,proactive data drift monitoring becomes vital in developingsafe and reliable models.Data poisoning
240、is a form of data drift due to adversarial intentional pollution of the training data.IMPORTANT:Model performance decays without any vivid signals.This means models outputs must beregularly examined and retrained if necessary.Valid mechanisms are also used to detect deviations fromthe original data.
241、Generally,there are two main subtypes of data drift that need to be taken into account:Covariate drift:This happens when the relationship between a single input and the outputremains unchanged,but the input data distribution changes.Covariate drift may happen as aresult of changes in user behavior,r
242、egulations,data collecting factors,and other factors;Prior probability drift:This occurs when the distribution of the target variable changes overtime relative to the training data.The learned relationship between input features and outputdata becomes disrupted in this case.Model performance can als
243、o be influenced by other types of data drift,e.g.:Feature change:This type of data drift happens when changes in features take place,like theintroduction of a new feature or the removal of an old one;Changes in the range of model output values.Copyright 2024,Cloud Security Alliance.All rights reserv
244、ed.35Data drift monitoring may include a variety of methods.The recommended ones include:Relevant domain knowledge that helps to detect and align the model performance withcutting-edge trends and changes in feature importance;Statistical tests comparing the distributions of the features in the train
245、ing data and the newlyobtained data(e.g.,the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test,chi-squared test,Population stability Index,the Page-Hinkley test,etc.);Visual distribution comparison where applicable,using histograms,scatterplots,etc.;Special algorithms that help to detect data drift;General measures to monito
246、r data poisoning attacks include,in addition to the ones mentioned,examination and monitoring of automated pipelines,examination of data flow diagrams,dataprovenance,and regular examination of data quality and integrity.The recommended practices for data drift monitoring include:Determine a set of f
247、eatures that are to be monitored;Define and describe the reference data.This might be ground truth or training data against whichthe production data is to be compared;Identify a lookup window for the monitoring;Define and set a list of metrics for data drift monitoring;Determine monitoring frequency
248、;Set the thresholds for the metrics;Establish the alerting mechanism for drift detection;Retrain the model if significant deviations are detected.Specific methods for addressing data drift include:Sequential Analysis Methods:Real-time monitoring of data streams to detect changes as theyoccur.Techniq
249、ues:CUSUM(Cumulative Sum Control Chart):CUSUM monitors shifts in themean of a process by accumulating deviations from a target value.Drift Detection Method(DDM):DDM monitors changes in modelperformance metrics(like error rates)and triggers alarms or updates when driftis detected.Copyright 2024,Cloud
250、 Security Alliance.All rights reserved.36Page-Hinkley Test:This test detects changes in the mean of a data stream andis suitable for real-time monitoring.Model-Based Methods:Using models to handle drift by adapting or incorporating newstrategies based on observed changes.Techniques:Ensemble Methods:
251、Ensembles combine predictions from multiple models andcan adapt by weighting or replacing models based on their performance onrecent data.Adaptive Models:These models update themselves incrementally as new datacomes in,which helps handle drift.Concept Drift Detection Models:These models are designed
252、 to detectconcept drift,such as ADWIN,which adjusts its window size to maintainperformance.Time Distribution-Based Methods:Analyze changes in statistical distributions of data overtime to detect drift.Techniques:Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test:This test compares the cumulative distributionfunctions of two d
253、atasets(current vs.historical)to detect shifts.Histogram-based Methods:By comparing histograms over time,you candetect changes in the distribution of features.Kernel Density Estimation(KDE):This test estimates the probability densityfunction of a random variable and can help detect changes in data d

262、es into the multifaceted aspectsof establishing and maintaining a robust AI governance structure while ensuring adherence to relevantregulations and standards.It encompasses the formulation of comprehensive AI security policies,theimplementation of stringent audit processes,the establishment of clea
263、r board reporting mechanisms,andthe navigation of complex regulatory mandates.Additionally,it explores the creation of measurable andauditable controls,the implications of emerging legislation such as the EU AI Act and the US ExecutiveOrder on AI,the development of AI usage policies,and the implemen
264、tation of model governance.Byaddressing these key areas,organizations can foster an environment of accountability,transparency,andethical AI use while m itigating risks and maintaining compliance with evolving legal and regulatorylandscapes.Copyright 2024,Cloud Security Alliance.All rights reserved.
265、382.1 AI Security Policies,Process,and ProceduresDefining,publishing,and governing security policies,processes,and procedures supporting secure andresponsible AI practices should complement and interoperate with existing cybersecurity policies andprocedures.The processes and procedures should also a
266、lign with the top-level corporate policies onResponsible AI for consistency and interoperability with other core disciplines such as data privacy,ethics,legal compliance,and so on.An organization may choose to align its cybersecurity-related processes and procedures to acompany-wide policy,such as c
267、orporate-wide AI principles that are applied to every role developing,assessing,or deploying AI,or a company-wide responsible AI or AI ethics policy.So,there is consistencyat the top regarding how the principles will be applied to secure new and emerging technology solutionsfrom a corporate standard
268、s and process perspective.The policy should convey at a high level the companys position on the use of such new and emergingtechnologies.A.Define a process that aligns with the high-level policy and embeds cybersecurity fromthe start of an AI project through ongoing production monitoring and updates
269、 to theuse case throughout the application lifecycle.After a corporate policy is established for a tone at the top mandate,a process should be developed andlinked to the policy,describing the steps that will be taken to meet the policy objectives.The process should not be too restrictive in scope to
270、 reduce the likelihood that future use cases would fallout of scope,risking a lack of adequate due diligence as socio-technical use cases for AI rapidly evolve,which can create new vulnerabilities with widespread negative consequences if not assessed early.Thestandard should be defined in an agile w
271、ay and can support future iterations of a framework as theindustry evolves(like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework).The process and its associated procedures describe how the cybersecurity team contributes toresponsible AI through its assessment roles,tools,and governance structure to support eac
272、h projectunder review.The following areas for governance should be considered best practice for any standard andset of associated procedures:1.Identify and assess risks.2.Define security objectives(may change based on the use case context and its intendedoutcomes,data sources,policy risk tolerance,e
273、tc.).3.Establish security controls.4.Publish and periodically review and update governance processes.5.Provide training and education to internal and external roles for the assessment,review,and approval processes and their context-specific uses.Copyright 2024,Cloud Security Alliance.All rights rese
274、rved.396.Continuously monitor and assess security with a feedback loop to address potentialethical or cybersecurity concerns internally or with external stakeholders.7.Define and adhere to an incident response and recovery plan and playbook.The process and the procedures aligned to the policy should
275、 also consider implementing checkpoints andguardrails for assessment and risk mitigation(reference NIST Test,Evaluation,and Red-Teaming).Security testing throughout the lifecycle of an application,using Test,Evaluation,Verification,and Validation(TEVV)guidance with considerations of the following:Te
276、st and Evaluation(T&E)is key to assessing the effectiveness and security of AI modelsand systems that are part of the solution architecture,target use case,and applicationlimitations.Vulnerabilities,weaknesses,and potential threats should be documented inthe vulnerability assessment,penetration test
277、ing,and compliance testing.Verification should include Red Teaming for attack simulation and adversarial defensetesting.Red Teaming and Threat Modelling can evaluate controls to identify weaknessesand apply controls as needed to prevent data breaches,obtain unauthorized access,orexploit vulnerabilit
278、ies within the proposed model or data(as well as any proposedchanges over time).The validation steps should also consider bias in the application and use case context.From a cybersecurity perspective,assessing for bias in the data sources can createnegative outcomes,and rigorous testing should be pe
279、rformed before a decision toproceed further.The process must also assess whether the model is sufficiently resilientto or susceptible to social engineering attacks that can cause harm or deliver inaccurateoutput and anticipate risks for using AI beyond its intent and context of the documenteduse cas
280、e.B.The process and detailed procedures must align with or define the governance structureand roles that assess,mitigate,or approve a project to proceed,along with any risksthat may prevent a project from moving forward until additional controls are applied.The process and procedure should also acco
281、unt for risk indicators and metrics to measure compliance andrisk tolerance and assure quarterly/annual input into the effectiveness of the cybersecurity program as akey contribution to Responsible AI.1.Evaluation Criteria:The organization should establish quantifiable metrics to assess the effectiv
282、eness of its AI program,whichmust include specific metrics for cybersecurity but can include other disciplines(Legal and Compliance,Data Privacy stakeholders,regulatory bodies,etc.);metrics might include the number of identifiedthreats,the severity of vulnerabilities in the Verification and Validati
283、on phases,and the level of risk acrossall the applications in the AI registry.Copyright 2024,Cloud Security Alliance.All rights reserved.402.RACI Model:The RACI model helps clarify roles and responsibilities regarding the process and associated detailedprocedures for applying Responsible AI safely a
284、nd securely.Key personnel must be designated asResponsible,Accountable,Consulted,or Informed,ensuring clear oversight and accountability throughoutthe Test,Evaluation,Verification,and Validation(TEVV)phases of cybersecurity assessment andmitigation documentation.The RACI model should also consider t
285、he governance structure,whether the governance is directlyoutlined in a corporate-level policy or linked through a Cybersecurity standard.The roles should define acommittees centralized or distributed responsibilities for reviewing and approving any project within thepolicy and process,who has the r
286、ight to challenge,who is informed,and so on.3.High-level Implementation Strategies:Implementing a governance strategy for Responsible AI should include regular cybersecurity training andawareness,playbooks for incident response,and a feedback loop to ensure ongoing monitoring andtesting are applied
287、consistently across the organization.The strategy should include regular engagementwith internal and external stakeholders as needed,with the appropriate levels of information-sharingagreements with other peers in the industry,to stay informed about emerging threats,trends,and toolsfor assessment an
288、d control mitigations.The organization structure for updating policy,processes,and procedures should be structured in a waythat allows for priority updates if needed and,at a minimum,a schedule for annual updates,review,andapproval by a policy committee(Cyber-specific and/or enterprise-wide across a
289、ll Responsible AIdisciplines).4.Continuous Monitoring and Reporting:Continuous monitoring tools and reporting mechanisms are essential for maintaining the integrity of theapplication and the context of the use case.Measurements should detect any drift from the initialapproval that did not undergo re
290、assessment/review/approval procedures and guardrails.5.Access Control:Access control mechanisms are crucial for safeguarding the data and access to the model and application.The organization must implement robust controls to manage access to sensitive data,model registries,and other critical assets
291、involved in threat modeling.It must also have playbooks for incident responseand,if needed,the right governance steps to shut down the application until the issue is resolved.6.Applicable Frameworks and RegulationsNIST AI Risk Management Framework,NIST Secure Software Development Framework,Executive
