This expansion of the Upwind platform empowers organizations with purpose-built security to protect GenAI services and AI workloads from unauthorized AI communications and potential AI resource misuse.
The Need for AI Security
“AI is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, but without the right security measures, it becomes an ungoverned risk,” said Amiram Shachar, founder and CEO, Upwind. “GenAI won’t reach its full potential until it’s secure, and Upwind GenAI Security addresses these challenges head-on. We give companies the power to innovate fearlessly, knowing their AI workloads are protected from the inside out.”
Challenges in AI Security
- Data Leakage & Exposure: AI models often process sensitive data, and improper configurations or interactions with external AI services can result in unintentional data exposure.
- AI Model Manipulation & Tampering: Threat actors can attempt to manipulate or poison AI models, leading to biased outputs, security vulnerabilities or unauthorized model modifications.
- Uncontrolled AI API Usage: Organizations need visibility into workloads that interact with AI services to prevent unauthorized data flows and potential misuse of AI-powered applications.
- Cloud-Native AI Security Gaps: Existing cloud security solutions often overlook AI-specific threats, such as insecure model endpoints, excessive IAM permissions for AI workloads, and improper access controls.
The Solution: Upwind GenAI Security
With its unique combination of GenAI-specific capabilities and controls, Upwind protects AI workloads from misconfigurations, unauthorized access, emerging threats and potential data exposure risks.
Real-World Results
“One e-commerce company used Upwind GenAI Security to detect and stop unauthorized AI API usage that was exposing sensitive customer data. This is a clear example of how our real-time visibility and AI-specific threat detection lead to stronger security outcomes,” said Joshua Burgin, chief product officer, Upwind.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Upwind GenAI Security is a groundbreaking solution that addresses the unique security challenges of AI workloads. By providing deep runtime visibility, AI-specific threat detection, and proactive risk mitigation, Upwind empowers organizations to protect their GenAI services and AI workloads from unauthorized access and emerging threats.
