Shifting left – embedding security into the AI life cycle
The essence of SbD is the shift-left principle, which involves integrating security considerations early and throughout the AI development life cycle rather than as an afterthought. This approach ensures that security is a fundamental component of the AI system’s design, development, and deployment processes. The following are some key practices:
- Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) security: Integrating security checks and tests into the CI/CD pipeline, allowing for early detection and remediation of security issues
- Developer training and awareness: Ensuring that developers are aware of AI-specific security concerns and are equipped to apply SbD principles in their work
- Automated security testing: Utilizing automated tools to continuously test and monitor the security posture of AI systems, facilitating early detection and response to new threats
