MLSecOps is Fundamental to Robust AI Security Posture Management (AISPM) // MLOps Podcast #257 with Sean Morgan, Chief Architect at Protect AI.

// Abstract
MLSecOps, which is the practice of integrating security practices into the AIML lifecycle (think infusing MLOps with DevSecOps practices), is a critical part of any team’s AI Security Posture Management. In this talk, we’ll discuss how to threat model realistic AIML security risks, how you can measure your organization’s AI Security Posture, and most importantly how you can improve that security posture through the use of MLSecOps.

// Bio
Sean Morgan is the Chief Architect at Protect AI. In prior roles he's led production AIML deployments in the semiconductor industry, evaluated adversarial machine learning defenses for DARPA research programs, and most recently scaled customers on interactive machine learning solutions at AWS. In his free time, Sean is an active open-source contributor and maintainer, and is the special interest group lead for TensorFlow Addons.
