Artificial intelligence security and privacy: a survey
Revolutionizing AI Security: A Comprehensive Survey
Explore the critical landscape of AI security and privacy, from training vulnerabilities to advanced inference attacks and the robust defense strategies safeguarding your enterprise.
Executive Summary: The Dual-Edged Sword of AI Innovation
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries, offering unprecedented levels of efficiency and innovation across sectors like healthcare, finance, and transportation. However, this rapid advancement is accompanied by significant security and privacy challenges. Recent incidents, such as data leaks and malicious code injections, highlight critical vulnerabilities. This survey provides a comprehensive analysis of AI security threats and countermeasures, spanning training and inference stages, centralized and distributed settings, and both conventional and foundation AI models. It aims to equip researchers and practitioners with a thorough understanding of existing vulnerabilities and inspire the development of robust, resilient AI technologies to safeguard against financial losses and privacy breaches.

Case Study: Securing LLMs in Finance
Protecting sensitive financial data from prompt injection attacks.
A major financial institution deployed a large language model to assist with customer service and sentiment analysis. Initially, the model was vulnerable to prompt injection attacks, where malicious inputs could extract sensitive customer information or generate harmful advice. By implementing a multi-layered defense strategy, including input/output filtering and dynamic attention mechanisms, the institution reduced the attack success rate by over 90%. This enhanced security posture allowed for continued innovation while safeguarding critical privacy and regulatory compliance. The solution now actively monitors and adapts to new adversarial techniques, ensuring continuous protection against evolving threats.
