The protection of databases that store high-dimensional vector embeddings used by AI applications for similarity search and retrieval. Security concerns include unauthorized access to embeddings that can reveal information about the original data, poisoning vectors to manipulate retrieval results, and ensuring access controls align with the sensitivity of the source documents the vectors represent.
Vector databases are a core component of RAG systems and AI-powered search. Security engineers must understand that embeddings can leak information about source data even without direct access to the original documents. Architects designing AI systems need to implement proper access controls and encryption for vector stores alongside traditional database security.
