Cisco AI Security: AI Supply Chain Risk Management

Secure your AI supply chain

Source third-party and open-source AI models with confidence. Proactively block malicious models and help ensure compliance before your AI operations are impacted.

AI supply chains are susceptible to risks

Traditional tools fail to address AI model vulnerabilities, compliance, and geopolitical risks, hindering safe AI adoption and innovation.

Manage AI model risks proactively

Identify and block malicious code from model components, validate license compliance, and help ensure model provenance before models enter your environment.

Detect threats in AI models and components

Cisco continuously scans public repositories like Hugging Face for malicious code and vulnerabilities within AI model files. By scanning repositories, potential threats can be identified before they can be introduced into your enterprise environment.

Check for license compliance

Detect and block AI models with risky or restrictive open-source software licenses—such as copyleft licenses like GPL—that pose intellectual property (IP) and compliance risks. This helps to ensure legal adherence and avoids inadvertent IP violations.

Maintain proper provenance of AI models

Flag and enforce policies on AI models that originate from geopolitically sensitive regions. Maintain compliance and mitigate potential risks based on potential geopolitical liabilities.

Accelerate enterprise AI adoption from the beginning

Confirm that third-party and open-source models and components used to build your AI applications are secure and compliant from the start of the development process.

Reduce security risks

Block malicious AI models before they enter your enterprise to prevent security incidents and breaches.

Maintain legal compliance

Avoid IP violations with automated detection of restrictive licenses.

Uphold supplier compliance

Enforce policies based on model origin to align with supplier risk management and corporate compliance requirements.

Network-based enforcement

Prevent risky AI models from entering your enterprise infrastructure through multiple enforcement points, powered by Cisco Security Cloud.

Cisco Secure Endpoint

Detect and quarantine risky AI assets directly from the endpoint.

Cisco Email Threat Defense

Prevent delivery of models and components that violate security policies.

Cisco Secure Access

Monitor and block downloads of high-risk AI assets from online repositories.

Mitigate threats with AI safety and security taxonomy

Easily comply with AI security such standards as the OWASP Top 10 for large language model (LLM) applications. Mitigate individual AI risks, and learn how they map to standards from MITRE, NIST, and OWASP.

Cisco announces Foundation AI

Leading AI and security experts will focus on developing cutting-edge technology that address security issues in the AI era. The goal is to combine AI model threat assessment and detection with network enforcement so enterprises can adopt and innovate with AI.
