A CISO’s guide to securing AI models

In AI applications, machine learning (ML) models are the core decision-making engines that drive predictions, recommendations, and autonomous actions. Unlike traditional IT applications, which rely on predefined rules and static algorithms, ML models are dynamic—they develop their own internal patterns and decision-making processes by analyzing training data. Their behavior can change as they learn from new data. This adaptive nature introduces unique security challenges. Securing these models requires a new approach that not only addresses … More → The post A CISO’s guide to securing AI models appeared first on Help Net Security.

The deep web is just everything online that’s not indexed by search engines. This includes things like email accounts, private databases, and paid services. It’s not illegal, it’s just not meant to be found with a simple Google search. The dark web, however, is a specific, … More → The post How does your data end up on the dark web? appeared first on Help Net Security.
