Amazon service for identity and access management

Answer 4

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).

Question 5

AWS application protection services

Question 10

What is Data logging?

Answer 10

Data logging involves the systematic recording of data related to the processing of an AI workload. This can include the following:

Tracking inputs
Tracking outputs
Model performance metrics
System events

Question 11

What are prompt injections?

Answer 11

In these attacks, adversaries attempt to manipulate the input prompts of generative AI models to generate malicious or undesirable content

Question 13

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)

Answer 13

Industry standard list of the top 10 vulnerabilities that can impact a generative AI LLM system

Question 14

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10

Answer 14

Prompt injection: Malicious user inputs that can manipulate the behavior of a language model
2

Insecure output handling: Failure to properly sanitize or validate model outputs, leading to security vulnerabilities
3

Training data poisoning: Introducing malicious data into a model’s training set, causing it to learn harmful behaviors
4

Model denial of service: Techniques that exploit vulnerabilities in a model’s architecture to disrupt its availability
5

Supply chain vulnerabilities: Weaknesses in the software, hardware, or services used to build or deploy a model
6

Sensitive information disclosure: Leakage of sensitive data through model outputs or other unintended channels
7

Insecure plugin design: Flaws in the design or implementation of optional model components that can be exploited
8

Excessive agency: Granting a model too much autonomy or capability, leading to unintended and potentially harmful actions
9

Overreliance: Over-dependence on a model’s capabilities, leading to over-trust and failure to properly audit its outputs
10

Model theft: Unauthorized access or copying of a model’s parameters or architecture, allowing for its reuse or misuse

Question 15

What does AWS Security Hub provide?

Answer 15

a single dashboard to view all security findings, and to create and run automated playbooks.

Question 16

What does AWS Key management service (KMS) do?

Answer 16

AWS KMS encrypts data and gives customers the choice and control of using AWS managed keys or customer-managed keys to protect their data.

Question 17

What is Amazon GuardDuty?

Answer 17

A threat detection service that monitors for suspicious activity and unauthorized behavior to protect AWS accounts, workloads, and data

Question 18

What is AWS Shield Advanced?

Answer 18

protect workloads against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) events. AWS Shield Advanced includes AWS WAF and AWS Firewall Manager.

Question 19

What is cataloging?

Answer 19

the systematic organization and documentation of the datasets, models, and other resources used in the development of a generative AI system.

Question 19

What is Amazon Inspector?

Answer 19

an automated vulnerability management service that continually scans AWS workloads for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure.

Question 19

What is Amazon Detective?

Answer 19

streamlines the investigative process and helps security teams conduct faster and more effective forensic investigations.

Question 19

What are model cards?

Answer 19

standardized format for documenting the key details about an ML model, including its intended use, performance characteristics, and potential limitations.

In the context of generative AI, model cards can be used to provide source citations and data origin documentation

Question 19

Data lineage

Answer 19

Technique used to track history of data. data lineage can be used to document the journey of the training data, from its initial sources to the final model.
