Widespread adoption of generative AI across businesses has increased the need for contingencies, including AI security software. It is a tall order because AI’s reach into an organization’s infrastructure and data is enormous, meaning that there is a broad spectrum of protective measures required. This is one of the reasons why attackers are drawn to AI abuses.

We examined nine vendors’ tools that handle AI security posture management (AI-SPM). This is an emerging field and unfortunately that means most products are nowhere near as comprehensive or as integrated as they could be. There are at least nine other vendors who are actively working on similar products that will see general release within the next few months.

AI security posture management explained

AI security posture management is an emerging cybersecurity discipline focused on ensuring the integrity and security of AI and machine learning systems. AI-SPM encompasses strategies, tools, and techniques for monitoring, assessing, and enhancing the security of AI models, data, pipelines, applications, and services, even as threats to those entities continually evolve.
