What role for the cyber security advisor in Artificial Intelligence?

The cybersecurity advisor for data scientists :

• Ensures that the data science team implements the security requirements of their organisation and regulators, applicable to their working environment and the AI models produced;
• Maintains a culture and reflexes of cybersecurity in the data science team;
• Relays the needs of the data science team to the cybersecurity correspondents in his/her organisation.

Day-to-day activities

As a member of (or seconded to) a data science team, the cybersecurity advisor for data scientists must :

• Carrying out a daily security watch on the threats and vulnerabilities of AI models and their working environment (including languages, frameworks, libraries, infrastructure, etc.) so that the team can deal with them;
• Provide the team with the applicable cybersecurity solutions:

- Interact with the cybersecurity correspondents in his/her organisation to raise new needs and obtain appropriate solutions;

- Capitalising on/developing protection mechanisms, security function libraries, scripts, etc. to secure the models developed and their data;

- Monitor data science security solutions as they mature;

• Train colleagues in the cyber risks to which their environment and models are exposed, as well as in good security practices for development and data handling;
• Verify the application of security measures in their working environment;
• Help colleagues to integrate "by design" security into the models they design, in particular by integrating mechanisms to detect critical data leakage or model manipulation/deflection;
• Carry out code and model security reviews and validate before going into production.

Expected key competencies

Organisational skills

• Understanding of business issues, providing use cases to be developed to better anticipate harmful deviations from the model and better target dataset protection.
• Good knowledge of the organization's cybersecurity ecosystem/community
• Capitalization and transmission of knowledge;

Data science skills

A data scientist or ML engineer with

• Broad knowledge of the libraries used and available on the market
• Extensive knowledge of MLOps development platforms
• Proven experience of ML over the entire cycle: design, development, training/validation, integration

Cybersecurity skills

• Fundamentals of cybersecurity (threats, risk analysis, needs, mechanisms, architecture, cloudsec)
• Ability to organize security intelligence (threats, vulnerabilities, solutions): source, processing...
• Knowledge of AI attack types and mitigation principles
• Working knowledge of data protection mechanisms, including data pipeline security (transfer, storage, calculation) or dataset extractions.
• Practical knowledge of development security, including supply chain risks, opensource, git, etc.
• Practical knowledge of code security review
