A vast number of cybersecurity professionals recently contributed to the SANS Institute draft of Critical AI Security Guidelines. The following SANS experts and industry professionals explore the essential areas of securing Generative AI, which include:
- Access Controls
- Data Protection
- Deployment Strategies
- Inference Security
- Monitoring
- Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC)
You Should Know:
1. Access Controls for AI Systems
Securing AI models requires strict access management. Below are key Linux and Windows commands to enforce access controls:
Linux:
Restrict directory permissions chmod 750 /path/to/ai_model chown root:ai_team /path/to/ai_model Use ACLs for granular control setfacl -m u:user:r-x /path/to/ai_model
Windows (PowerShell):
Set directory permissions icacls "C:\AI_Models" /grant "AD\AI_Team:(OI)(CI)(RX)"
2. Data Protection in AI Workflows
Encrypt AI training data to prevent leaks:
Linux (GPG Encryption):
gpg --encrypt --recipient "[email protected]" training_data.csv
Windows (BitLocker):
Enable-BitLocker -MountPoint "D:" -EncryptionMethod Aes256
3. Monitoring AI Models for Anomalies
Use logging and SIEM tools to detect suspicious AI behavior:
Linux (Audit Logs):
Monitor AI model access auditctl -w /var/lib/ai_models -p rwxa -k ai_access
Windows (Event Logs):
Get-WinEvent -LogName "Application" | Where-Object { $_.Message -like "AI Model" }
4. Securing AI Deployments
Isolate AI containers using Docker security:
docker run --security-opt no-new-privileges -u nobody ai_container
5. GRC Automation for AI Compliance
Automate compliance checks with OpenSCAP:
oscap xccdf eval --profile pci-dss /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-linux-ds.xml
What Undercode Say:
AI security is a growing concern, and these guidelines highlight the need for zero-trust policies, encryption, and strict monitoring. Implementing Linux hardening, Windows security policies, and automated compliance checks ensures AI systems remain resilient against attacks.
Expected Output:
- AI Security Best Practices
- Linux/Windows Hardening Commands
- Automated Compliance Scripts
- Secure Deployment Strategies
