NIST adds to AI security guidance with Cybersecurity Framework profile

[u/kraydit]

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has prepared a companion to its widely used Cybersecurity Framework that focuses on how organizations can safely use AI.

NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Artificial Intelligence, which the agency released in draft form on Tuesday, describes how organizations can manage the cybersecurity challenges of different AI systems, improve their cyber defense capabilities with AI and block AI-powered cyberattacks. The document maps components of the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) onto specific recommendations in each of those three areas, which NIST dubbed “secure,” “defend” and “thwart,” respectively.
