Principles of Securing Intelligent Machines

Attacks against AI-based systems have only begun, but these systems increasingly have the attributes that attract cyber threat actors. Business criticality, processing of sensitive information, control over financial transactions and the power to disrupt are key elements that motivate attackers. As attackers pivot their focus to intelligent systems, how well we have anticipated methods of attack and corresponding defense techniques will be the difference between a narrow miss and a significant compromise.
