The Growing Challenge
The global AI arms race is accelerating, and AI data centers are now critical infrastructure, vital to national security and defense. AI data centers are uniquely challenging to secure. They process high volumes of sensitive data on complex compute infrastructure where capacity is rapidly swapped between different customers. Any attack can cause loss of data, leaking of intellectual property, poisoning of model weights, causing significant harm to any nation’s battle for AI supremacy.
The urgency of proactive cybersecurity for AI data centers could not be higher.
AI Infrastructure Risks for Data Centers
From AI Servers, to GPUs, to network infrastructure and other foundational tech, increased security and continuous protection is needed. While the OWASP Top 10 Risks for LLMs and other research have heavily focused on AI software and model risks, the security of the hardware, components, and supply chain have been largely ignored. NIST SP 800-223 identifies numerous cyber risks facing High Performance Compute (HPC) which includes AI data centers. Risks include:
- Attacks on critical hardware components and software manipulation to gain unauthorized access.
- Rapidly changing infrastructure for HPC firmware and hardware components, increasing supply chain risk
- Compute Node Sanitization challenges, such as validating firmware between task runs on shared compute infrastructure
Private sector AI leaders are also increasing focus on secure AI infrastructure. OpenAI explored a set of six core security practices for securing advanced AI, including:
- Trusted computing for AI accelerators
- Network and tenant isolation guarantees
- Innovation in operational and physical security for datacenters
- AI-specific audit and compliance programs
- AI for cyber defense
- Resilience, redundancy, and research
Eclypsium supports many requirements of NIST SP 800-223, as well as the recommendations in OpenAI’s guidance for rethinking secure AI infrastructure.
