Don’t Let Your AI Apps Become a Security Nightmare

Published on Monday, 20 May 2024 at 11:01:21 AM

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising the way we interact with technology. From creating videos out of a few words to analysing data like digital wizards, AI-powered applications are truly mind-blowing. However, just like any powerful tool, AI apps need proper security measures to prevent them from becoming a security nightmare.

 

The Challenge

Your cyber-security strategy might not cover AI yet. This is understandable as AI is relatively new, and more and more AI apps are appearing all the time. Creating new and updating existing cyber strategies can be time-consuming. But ignoring AI cyber-security could lead to costly mistakes down the line. Using a Managed ICT service provide like Integrated ICT can limit the confusion the introduction of these new technologies may be causing. The following are some of the immediate recommendations we discuss when it comes to keeping your organisation protected from cyber threats through the introduction of AI usage.

 

How to Keep Your AI Apps and Data Safe

  1. Patch It Up!

Just like software, AI models can have vulnerabilities. Users need to stay vigilant and patch any security holes as soon as they’re discovered. Regular updates are crucial to keeping your AI applications secure.

 

  1. Think Like a Hacker (But for Good!)

Perform regular vulnerability testing. Identify and address weaknesses before malicious actors exploit them. By staying one step ahead, you can protect your AI systems effectively.

 

  1. Lock Down Access

Not everyone needs full access to your AI applications. Implement proper access controls and monitor user activity. Limit permissions to authorised personnel only.

 

  1. Stay Transparent

Be upfront about how your company uses AI and what data it collects. Transparency is essential for data privacy compliance. Users and stakeholders should know how AI impacts their privacy.
