5 Essential Steps to Harden Your AI Model: Stop Attacks & Data Poisoning

Is your AI model a house with unlocked doors and open windows? A 2023 Microsoft Security report revealed that 60% of AI models deployed in production have at least one critical vulnerability, but most of these succeed due to basic security oversights.
In this video from Lab Prove Hub, we provide a technical but accessible guide to turning your vulnerable AI into a fortress. We break down the five essential steps every developer and security team needs to follow:
• Step 1: Adversarial Training – Learn how to use the FGSM method to "vaccinate" your AI against attack patterns by using adversarial examples.
• Step 2: Input Sanitization – Your first line of defense! We cover data type validation, range checking, and rate limiting to prevent injection attacks.
• Step 3: Model Obfuscation – Protect your IP with AES-256 encryption, watermarking, and secure enclaves like Intel SGX to prevent model theft.
• Step 4: Continuous Monitoring – Why you must track prediction drift, confidence scores, and resource usage to catch attacks in minutes, not hours.
• Step 5: Regular Security Audits – The importance of quarterly pentesting, dependency scanning with tools like Snyk, and updating your threat model.
Don't wait until a breach happens—harden your AI today to make attacking your model too expensive and time-consuming for 99% of attackers.
