How to Build an AI Security Program
TechTarget, Tuesday, August 19th, 2025
A framework for implementing operational security controls across AI systems using six components.
Organizations should approach AI security as a control-system problem rather than a model evaluation exercise.
The guide presents six operational components: AI system inventory and classification, data use and scope control, identity and access governance, application security for AI systems, monitoring and behavioral oversight, and governance with accountability.
Implementation prioritizes operational controls that prevent AI systems from exceeding defined boundaries. It also extends existing identity governance and behavioral monitoring to address AI-specific attack surfaces such as prompt injection and context manipulation.
