Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

When it comes to Artificial Intelligence (AI)—including Machine Learning (ML)—applications, sensitive data and Intellectual Property (IP) must be protected to secure your value.

Protecting Innovation for 
Data Scientists and Engineers

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has grown out of computer science, statistics, and various engineering specialties, to become ubiquitous to the way our modern world is developing. Given the trust placed on these software models, they become a magnet to threat actors. Most discussion of threats to AI focus on the model running in the cloud. When it comes to models running in client-side applications or Edge AI, different risk models are required.

AI from cloud to edge

AI models are distributed as software. As such, their code is as vulnerable to attack as any other software application. This puts them at risk of piracy, reverse engineering, and malicious manipulation. Given the high-value nature of these models, they quickly become a magnet for those wishing to profit from doing harm.

This makes it necessary to securely license and protect your AI models.

PACE is experienced in protecting software IP across multiple markets, and working with data science and ModelOps teams. PACE delivers a proven license and security solution to AI/ML developers, allowing them to maximize their value.

Safeguarding against real world threats

ai threat 1

Software Piracy

Today's hackers are extremely clever and persistent. They will strip copy protection, steal your unique model, and distribute it for free online. We understand their techniques and strive to make their lives difficult. PACE Licensing means you can safely distribute your application and manage who is using your model.

IP Theft

Theft of software-based IP is nothing new—whether for monetary gain or commercial advantage—and has been shown to negatively impact not only short-term revenue but also long-term company valuations. Because AI models are distributed as software, they are prone to the same reverse engineer attacks. PACE Licensing stops the wholesale theft of your application, while our targeted software protection secures your model against reverse engineering.

AI threat 3

Model Manipulation Attacks

AI/ML also introduces new threats. External analysis known as “query attacks” involves attempts to discern the internal logic of an AI model. In scenarios involving client-side and Edge AI, attackers can access the model's underlying code. This acquired knowledge can then potentially be exploited to alter the model's behavior and rules. With targeted protection of algorithms and models, PACE works with customers to prevent such attacks.
