Why Security Is Important in ML and How To Secure Your ML-based Solutions | Rachid Kherrazi
Learn how to secure your Machine Learning (ML) solutions from attacks and manipulate the training process to achieve incorrect results and ensure responsible development and deployment.
- Security is important in Machine Learning (ML) as ML algorithms can be vulnerable to attacks, and adversarial attacks can manipulate the training process and lead to incorrect results.
-
Some types of attacks include:
- Adversarial attacks: manipulating training data to manipulate the model’s behavior
- Model extraction attacks: stealing a trained model
- Model inversion attacks: stealing data from a trained model
- Black box attacks: manipulating a model without accessing its internal workings
- White box attacks: manipulating a model by accessing its internal workings
- Gray box attacks: manipulating a model by partially accessing its internal workings
- A good approach to security is to include it in the development process, not as an afterthought.
-
Some countermeasures include:
- Testing: testing models for vulnerabilities
- Monitoring: monitoring models for unexpected behavior
- Secure coding: following best practices for secure coding
- Version control: keeping track of changes to models and data
- Collaborative development: involving multiple people and groups in the development process
- Security does not start with deployment, but rather is an ongoing process throughout the development and deployment of a model.
- Model-based testing is an important aspect of securing ML models.
-
Some standards and best practices include:
- OWASP Machine Learning Security Cheat Sheet
- TensorFlow Security
- NIST 800-30: Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments
- European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- Awareness is key to understanding and addressing security risks in ML.
-
Best practices for securing ML models include:
- Secure coding
- Monitoring
- Testing
- Version control
- Collaborative development
-
Some libraries and frameworks include:
- TensorFlow
- PyTorch
- scikit-learn
- OpenCV
- Some companies and organizations, such as Microsoft and NIST, have taken steps to address security risks in ML.
- Machine learning is a growing field and securing it is important for its responsible development and deployment.
