  • 1.  AI and ML attack surface: A summary of recently completed training

    Posted Mar 09, 2021 11:38:00 AM
    I had a chance to take in AL and ML in INFOSEC training.  In summary, the high-level goals for AI and ML use in INFOSEC were,

    1. Predict the future (Supervised, labeled numeric data, regression analysis to map input variables to output variables)
      • If X happens, the probability of Y occurring is ...
    2. Categorize data (Supervised, labeled data, classification analysis to split new data into existing categories)
      • Example IS/IS NOT Spam?
    3. Find new patterns of behavior (Unsupervised, unlabeled data, clustering analysis to find relationships in the data)
      • Low and slow pattern detection vs. anomaly detection
    4. General adversarial network (GAN) synthetic training data (Unsupervised, unlabeled data, generative analysis)
      • Deep fake image and deep fake record detection
    Go forward risks of using AI and ML in information security products

    • The host company, or vendor, has a poor AI implementation
    • Attacks against the host company implementation to skew or amplify an existing bias in the data (e.g. affecting model error, affecting model bias, affecting richness of data, influencing auto-correlation)
    • Attackers using AI and ML to increase the precision of targets, and accuracy of effects by attacking at scale utilizing data sets, modeling, classification, and process automation
    • Human bias relying on probabilistic models that lack domain knowledge context of the relationship between elements like the business model, the IT network, and business process rules governing customer/application interactions

    Wow this was a really great teaser overview, and (new-to-me) course suggestion – thanks so much Mark.
