New AI Security Solutions from AWS: Navigating the Future of Application Development
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how applications are built and deployed. However, with this progress comes a set of new security challenges that require expert attention. Customers are increasingly concerned with data privacy, model integrity, system availability, potential misuse, and the complexities of threat detection.
As AI technologies evolve, so do the vulnerabilities associated with them. Issues like model poisoning, prompt injections, insecure output handling, and data leakage need innovative security solutions capable of identifying and mitigating risks across the entire AI workflow. This workflow includes everything from models and agents to datasets and deployment resources.
To address these pressing needs, we are thrilled to announce a brand-new category within the AWS Security Competency: AI Security. This initiative is designed to assist customers in easily locating partners that possess specialized experience in securing AI environments and defending workloads from sophisticated threats and attacks.
The AI Security category joins other existing categories in the AWS Security Competency portfolio, each of which is shaped by the insights of AWS security experts. Partners in this category undergo rigorous validation, demonstrating advanced expertise and proven success in crucial areas such as safeguarding sensitive data, countering injection attacks, managing security posture, and implementing responsible AI practices.
