DevSecOps, a longstanding methodology integrating security into every phase of the software development lifecycle, serves as a foundation for the emerging fields of MLSecOps and AISecOps, which extend these principles to machine learning and AI systems. MLSecOps focuses on embedding security practices throughout the ML lifecycle, addressing challenges like data privacy, model integrity, and adversarial threats, while emphasizing the critical role of data as a cornerstone for AI development and operations. The transition to MLSecOps necessitates a shift in tools, processes, and cross-disciplinary collaboration within organizations, highlighting the importance of incorporating privacy and security by design. Innovative tools like Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and platforms such as Duality’s Secure Collaborative AI are essential for managing data security, privacy, and model transparency. Additionally, the framework must address adversarial machine learning risks and supply chain vulnerabilities, with best practices including early integration of security checks, comprehensive data management, continuous monitoring, and collaboration with AI security experts. Duality exemplifies how MLSecOps can be effectively operationalized, integrating privacy, security, and governance to support the growing demands of AI systems.
