Responsibilities
- AI Security Architecture
- Design and review secure architectures for ML/LLM workloads (training, fine tuning, inference, RAG, agents, plugins, tool calling, APIs).
- Define reference architectures for on-prem, hybrid, and cloud AI platforms (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex, self-hosted models, etc.).
- Threat Modeling & Risk Management
- Perform AI-specific threat modeling (e.g., data poisoning, model theft, prompt injection, jailbreaks, supply-chain, inference attacks) using MAESTRO or similar framework.
- Align controls with leading frameworks: NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27090, ISO/IEC 42001, OWASP GenAI / LLM Top 10, CSA & MITRE ATLAS.
- Security Control Design & Implementation
- Define and oversee implementation of controls for:
- Training & data pipelines (data quality, provenance, labeling, PII protection).
- Model & artifact integrity (signing, SBOM, secure registries).
- Access control, isolation, rate limiting, and abuse detection.
- Secure prompt engineering and guardrail policies.
- Security prompt monitoring to detect ongoing attacks.
- Data security: data classification, data masking and DLP.
- MCP server hardening.
- Reliability & Trustworthiness
- Partner with engineering and data science to embed robustness, observability, fallback strategies, and evaluation pipelines (safety, bias, toxicity, hallucination monitoring).
- Contribute to SLOs/SLAs for AI systems, including security and reliability KPIs.
- Secure SDLC for AI
- Embed AI security into CI/CD: scanning, dependency checks, policy-as code, red-teaming AI components pre- and post-release.
- Incident Response & Red Teaming
- LLM bias detection.
- Perform red teaming activities to abuse and force AI hallucinations.
- Develop and maintain AI-specific playbooks (prompt abuse, model exfiltration, data leakage, compromised agents).
- Lead or support AI red/blue/purple teaming exercises using frameworks like MITRE ATLAS.
- Governance, Compliance & Policy
- Advice on alignment with emerging AI regulations and standards (e.g., EU AI Act, regional laws, internal AI use policies).
- Define internal policies on responsible AI, data usage, model lifecycle, and 3rd-party AI risk management.
