Ian Swanson is the Co-Founder & CEO of Protect AI which secures AI and ML systems. He was previously the Co-Founder & CEO of Datascience.com which sold to Oracle, where he was VP AI & ML and then was Worldwide Leader of AI & ML at AWS before starting Protect AI. I’m also joined by Emilio Escobar, CISO of Datadog as a special co-host! In this episode, we dive into what is ML & AI Security, the different types of attacks that hackers are using, and how teams can best secure their systems. We also talk about MLSecOps and why an ML BOM (Bill of Materials) is needed. Finally, we cover emerging attack surfaces and how LLMs will change both adversarial and defensive security products.
