Machine Learning Attack Series: Backdooring models
Summary
This post discusses backdooring attacks on machine learning models, where an adversary gains access to a model file (the trained AI system used in production) and overwrites it with malicious code. The threat was identified during threat modeling, which is a security planning process where teams imagine potential attacks to prepare defenses. The post indicates it will cover attacks, mitigations, and how Husky AI was built to address this risk.
