Listen "#8 | Model Theft: 3 Layers of Defense for Your Most Valuable AI Asset"
Episode Synopsis
You spent millions developing your proprietary AI model, making it your core competitive advantage. But did you know a competitor could steal it without ever hacking your servers? The threat of Model Extraction via your API is real, and it can nullify your entire investment.
In this episode of Expansion, we dissect the attack vectors targeting AI models—from insider leaks to sophisticated API queries. More importantly, we lay out a three-layer defense system: strict access control, invisible watermarking to prove theft, and smart API monitoring to detect attacks in real-time.
To help you start defending your core asset immediately, we've prepared an exclusive bonus: "AI Security Checklist: 12 Steps to Protect Your Proprietary LLM." This utility-packed guide is available for free, but only to our Telegram channel subscribers.
