Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
The integration of security practices into the machine learning operations (MLOps) pipeline, covering data ingestion, model training, deployment, and monitoring. MLSecOps applies DevSecOps principles to ML workflows: scanning training data for poisoning, verifying model integrity, securing model registries, monitoring inference endpoints, and auditing model behavior in production.
As ML models become critical infrastructure for threat detection and business decisions, securing the ML pipeline is a growing responsibility for security teams. Security engineers with MLOps skills can protect training infrastructure and model deployment pipelines. This hybrid skill set is rare and increasingly valued by organizations shipping AI products.
