Very few organizations are focusing on protecting their machine learning assets and even fewer are allocating resources to machine learning security.

The advantages are proven, but as we've seen with other new technologies, they quickly become a new attack surface for malicious actors.

Access to these models can be attained through traditional cyber attack techniques paving the way for adversarial machine learning opportunities.

While all adversarial machine learning attack types need to be defended against, different organizations will have different priorities.

Much like our advancements in cloud infrastructures, machine learning deployments represent a new attack surface and require specialized defenses.

The bar for conducting adversarial machine learning attacks is getting lower every day with open source attack tools like Microsoft's Counterfit or IBM's Adversarial Robustness Toolbox.
