Technical requirements
This chapter requires that you have access to either Google Colab or Jupyter Notebook to work with the example code. The Requirements to use this book section of Chapter 1, Defining Machine Learning Security, provides additional details on how to set up and configure your programming environment. When testing the code, use a test site, test data, and test APIs to avoid damaging production setups and to improve the reliability of the testing process. Testing over a non-production network is highly recommended, but not absolutely necessary. Using the downloadable source code is always highly recommended. You can find the downloadable source on the Packt GitHub site at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Machine-Learning-Security-Principles or on my website at http://www.johnmuellerbooks.com/source-code/.
