The application of cybersecurity practice to AI systems and the components around them: training pipelines, model weights, inference endpoints, vector stores, agent tools, and the data flowing through every step. AI security covers traditional concerns such as access control and secrets management plus AI-specific risks such as prompt injection, model extraction, and data poisoning.
AI security is now its own discipline at large enterprises and frontier labs. Cybersecurity practitioners with AI literacy and AI engineers with security literacy are both rare and well-paid.
The cybersecurity glossary covers a parallel term for this concept on the cyber side of the convergence.
