• Ensure secure handling of training data, fine-tuning datasets, model artifacts, and
embeddings through encryption and access governance.
• Secure AI workloads in cloud and hybrid environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), including
containerized and Kubernetes-based deployments.
• Integrate AI systems with enterprise identity and access management, cloud security
posture controls, application security scanning, runtime monitoring, and vulnerability
management platforms.
• Define AI-specific logging, telemetry, detection strategies, and incident response
readiness.
