  "bluf": "On April 15, 2024 the US National Security Agency's Artificial Intelligence Security Center (NSA AISC), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK), the Australian Signals Directorate's ACSC, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), and the New Zealand National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-NZ) jointly published the Cybersecurity Information Sheet Deploying AI Systems Securely - Best Practices for Deploying Secure and Resilient AI Systems. The CSI provides guidance for organisations deploying and operating externally developed AI systems, structured across three areas: (1) Secure the deployment environment - manage governance, ensure a robust IT environment, validate the AI system before and during use, protect APIs and access controls, identify and protect AI assets, and develop incident response procedures; (2) Continuously protect the AI system - validate the AI system, secure exposed APIs, secure deployment infrastructure, harden CI/CD pipelines for the model artifacts; (3) Secure AI operation and maintenance - enforce strict access controls, perform red-team exercises, monitor user behaviour, conduct AI-specific audits, and contribute to the AI vulnerability disclosure community. The CSI is the operational complement to the November 2023 CISA-NCSC Guidelines for Secure AI System Development and forms part of the multilateral allied cyber agency baseline for deployment-time AI security.",
