AI Model Distribution Methods - AI Mitigation

Avoiding the deployment of models to edge devices reduces the attack surface and can prevent adversary artifact collection.

Avoiding the deployment of models to edge devices reduces an adversary's potential access to models or AI artifacts.

Avoiding the deployment of models to edge devices reduces an adversary's ability to collect sensitive information about the model outputs.

Not distributing the model in software to edge devices, can limit an adversary's ability to gain full access to the model.

An adversary could repackage the application with a malicious version of the model.

With full access to the model, an adversary could perform white-box attacks.
