With the rapid advancement and wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, ensuring the security of these systems has become a paramount concern. While securing AI systems shares similarities with securing traditional enterprise systems, there are also significant differences that must be considered.

Understanding the differences between securing AI systems and traditional enterprise systems

Securing AI systems involves unique challenges that set them apart from traditional enterprise systems. One of the key differences lies in the nature of the data being processed. AI systems often handle vast amounts of sensitive data, including personal information and proprietary business data. This necessitates robust data protection measures to safeguard against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

Another difference is the potential for adversarial attacks on AI systems. Unlike traditional enterprise systems, AI systems are susceptible to attacks specifically designed to manipulate or deceive the system's algorithms. Adversarial attacks can lead to biased outcomes, compromised decision-making, and potentially catastrophic consequences. Securing AI systems requires the implementation of specialized defenses to detect and mitigate such attacks.
