AI Threat Modeling
A systematic process for identifying, categorising and prioritising security threats and vulnerabilities specific to AI systems across their full lifecycle.
In plain language
Mapping all the ways an AI system could be attacked, misused or fail, then planning defences. Like a security assessment that focuses specifically on AI-related vulnerabilities rather than traditional IT risks.
Why this matters
AI threat modelling should be a mandatory component of your governance process for every production AI system. It provides a structured approach to identify and prioritise security risks before deployment and informs the security controls you implement.
Relevance
ImplementationThreat modelling is a technical discipline that implementation teams use to design secure AI systems and demonstrate to governance oversight that security requirements have been addressed.
