New Research: 80% of Companies say Security Concerns are Preventing their use of AI/ML
SYDNEY โ Dec. 16, 2024 โ JFrog Ltd. (โJFrogโ) (Nasdaq: FROG), the Liquid Software company and creators of the JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform that offers DevOps and DevSecOps solutions, today unveiled new research indicating a lack of AI/ML software visibility, provenance, and governance is leaving many organisations at risk.ย
“In the race by organisations to adopt AI/ML, many are neglecting to take a holistic approach. This study proves that AI and ML software development still largely operates in silos, creating challenges in terms of visibility and security,โ said Moran Ashkenazi, SVP & CISO, JFrog. “By bringing machine learning models alongside traditional software development processes in an end-to-end workflow, cybersecurity teams can ensure their AI apps are built quickly, securely, and in compliance with all regulatory guidelines.โ
Gartner research indicates 92% of CIOs believe AI will be integrated into their organisations business software and solutions by 2025 due to surging expectations from their CEO and board. However, many still struggle to show value from their AI implementations. Additionally, government regulations for AI such as the White House Executive Order and EU AI Act, signal a new era of accountability for organisations looking to leverage AI for business and increased competitive edge.ย
Key findings of the JFrog-sponsored study prove most companies are reticent to roll-out enterprise AI systems due to:
- Gaps in AI/ML security: An overwhelming majority of companies (79%) say security concerns are slowing their use of AI/ML by the business and/or the integration of AI/ML features into the software they make.
- Limited visibility into AI/ML software supply chains: Nearly 70% of companies canโt detect the origin of AI source code, 67% are unable to track AI-related open-source dependencies and 49% canโt control ML model usage.
- No single source of truth for regulatory and compliance needs: Nearly two-thirds (64%) of organisations lack full confidence in their ability to meet emerging AI regulatory standards in software development.
- Widespread lack of AI governance: More than half (60%) of companies lack policies for sourcing or licensing training data and (58%) of companies are missing a governance framework for AI developers.
ML models, like any software component, must be stored, built, traced, versioned, signed, secured, and efficiently delivered to enable safe, scalable AI. Implementing MLSecOps best practices with a unified solution can help mitigate these risks. However, most traditional homegrown and commercial-off-the-shelf MLOps solutions today lack a single system of record for AI/ML application development, in the context of broader organisational software delivery. JFrogML, part of the JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform, offers a unified and scalable solution that enables DevOps, Security, and MLOps stakeholders to easily build, train, and deploy models with greater visibility, governance, versioning, and security.
