The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) and its Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre) have collaborated with the National Security Agency’s (NSA) Artificial Intelligence Security Centre (AISC), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and several international partners to release cybersecurity guidance on securely deploying artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
AI systems are lucrative targets for malicious cyber actors, particularly state actors who may aim to exploit them to pilfer sensitive information for their strategic gains.
Deploying AI systems securely necessitates meticulous setup and configuration tailored to the AI system’s complexity, resource requirements for security, and underlying infrastructure. This guidance aims to aid organizations in securely deploying and operating AI systems crafted and developed by third parties by:
Enhancing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of AI systems.
Mitigating known vulnerabilities in AI systems.
Offering methodologies and controls to safeguard, detect, and respond to malicious activities targeting AI systems, along with their associated data and services.
