What is AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) and how does it work?

What is AI Security Posture Management?
AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) is a framework for securing AI projects throughout their lifecycle. It involves identifying and correcting misconfigurations, managing access controls, detecting vulnerabilities in code, data, and models, and ensuring compliance with internal and regulatory policies. As organizations increase their reliance on AI, AI-SPM ensures that innovation remains secure, resilient, and auditable.

How Does AI Security Posture Management Work in PointGuard AI?
PointGuard AI SPM provides a purpose-built platform that continuously monitors and protects AI environments. It integrates directly with cloud-native AI tools and MLOps platforms like Databricks, SageMaker, Bedrock, Azure AI, Azure OpenAI, and Google Vertex AI to enforce AI-specific security and governance policies.

  • Broad Protection for AI Development Platforms
    PointGuard monitors every layer of the AI stack, detecting misconfigurations, malware risks, model exposure, and supply chain threats. It provides actionable insights that harden systems against attacks and ensure compliance without disrupting development workflows.
  • Misconfiguration Detection and Risk Alerts
    Misconfigured settings in models, datasets, or pipelines can lead to critical security breaches. PointGuard identifies these issues in real time and delivers immediate alerts. It goes deeper than traditional cloud security posture management (CSPM) solutions by addressing AI-specific risks—such as insecure model endpoints, exposed datasets, and vulnerable third-party libraries.
  • Access Control and Permissions Enforcement
    PointGuard enforces security by default, restricting access to models, data, and AI infrastructure based on role and policy. It also monitors and flags unauthorized changes, reducing the risk of insider threats and privilege misuse.
  • Integrated Security Controls for AI-Specific Threats
    The platform scans for malicious scripts, unsafe libraries, and data poisoning attempts. It protects against model theft, governs how and where models are promoted or served, and ensures encryption of data at rest and in transit. It also evaluates third-party model sources and hardens open-source supply chains against injection and hijack attempts.
  • Automated Remediation and Ticketing Workflows
    PointGuard integrates with Jira, ServiceNow, and Azure Boards to automatically open and track remediation tickets. Notifications are sent via Slack, MS Teams, and PagerDuty, ensuring that stakeholders act quickly on prioritized risks without burdening developers.
  • Context-Aware Application Mapping
    The platform maps every identified risk or misconfiguration back to the applications and AI assets involved. This allows organizations to better understand business impact, prioritize responses, and demonstrate compliance in audits.

Why PointGuard AI SPM?
PointGuard is the only platform that secures both software and AI supply chains—offering unified visibility and control over models, datasets, development pipelines, and their connected applications. AI-SPM with PointGuard enables organizations to scale AI safely while defending against misconfigurations, attacks, and compliance failures.
