Mitre has worked with more than a dozen companies on a new initiative that seeks to improve awareness of cyberthreats and defense of artificial intelligence-enabled systems through rapid and secure information sharing.
The nonprofit organization said Wednesday the AI Incident Sharing initiative is part of the Secure AI project of Mitre’s Center for Threat-Informed Defense and is built on the Mitre Atlas threat framework.
The Atlas framework is a knowledge base of adversary behaviors used by developers, operators and security professionals as they work to safeguard AI-enabled technologies.
“As public and private organizations of all sizes and sectors continue to incorporate AI into their systems, the ability to manage potential incidents is essential,” said Douglas Robbins, vice president of engineering and prototyping at Mitre Labs.
“Standardized and rapid information sharing about incidents will allow the entire community to improve the collective defense of such systems and mitigate external harms,” Robbins added.
Mitre’s collaborators on the Secure AI project include AttackIQ, Booz Allen Hamilton, BlueRock, CATO Networks, Citigroup, Cloud Security Alliance, CrowdStrike, FS-ISAC, Fujitsu, HCA Healthcare, HiddenLayer, Intel, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Microsoft, Standard Chartered and Verizon Business.
The new initiative allows a community of trusted organizations to receive anonymized data on incidents and threats involving AI-enabled tools to facilitate data-driven risk intelligence and analysis.
