Pinebar opens a new AI security service lineup

The new program responds to a growing demand for strategic and tactical advice that enable customers ‍to address the unique security challenges of applying AI in business operations and environments.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, October 15, 2024 – Pinebar, the cybersecurity division within the Pinebar B.V. (Amsterdam), today announced the launch of new security capabilities applied to Artificial Intelligence. The AI Security portfolio is a full suite of services designed to help businesses prepare for and mitigate the growing threats associated with AI-powered systems and applications enabling users to use the technology securely, effectively, and in compliance with emerging regulations.

As AI technologies become integral to business operations, they introduce a new and complex attack surface that malicious actors can exploit. Pinebar has been focused on AI security for over five years, enabling innovation without compromising security long before the advent of mainstream AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Using this extensive technical and cybersecurity expertise, the business has developed a portfolio of services that provides both strategic and tactical support to secure AI applications, their associated systems, and the broader operating ecosystem.

“Our new AI Security Services portfolio is a direct response to the urgent need for solid security frameworks in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Businesses today are navigating uncharted territories where AI offers tremendous potential but also raises significant risks” said Thomas Lefebvre, CEO of Pinebar “Our goal is to make sure the organizations we serve can innovate with confidence, knowing that their AI initiatives are built on a foundation of security, compliance, and resilience.”

The AI Security Services Portfolio includes:

• AI Security Strategy Development and Implementation: A strategic approach to address governance, technical, and regulatory challenges, including the creation of a tailored governance framework and full security strategy to make sure compliance with ethical principles and regulations.
• EU AI Act Compliance: Advisory support to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and make sure compliance with the EU AI Act, enhancing global competitiveness and stakeholder trust.
• AI Threat and Risk Assessment: A thorough evaluation of AI applications, including their associated architecture, assessing specific threats, identifying issues, and ranking them by criticality, ensuring timely mitigation.
• AI Application Security Testing: Offensive security tactics tailored for AI-powered applications using Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify and address vulnerabilities, boosting confidence in the security and integrity of deployed systems.

“The rapid evolution of AI-powered tools and solutions has created a pressing need to reduce attack surfaces and lower security risks,” said Ethan Caldwell, Sr. Director of Research at Pinebar and Black Hat® track lead for AI, machine learning and data science. “Our AI Security capabilities are designed to identify and mitigate these risks, using advanced threat modeling and red teaming to make sure AI systems are solid against both known and unknown vulnerabilities, enabling secure integration into critical operations.”

As businesses continue to adopt AI at a rapid pace, Pinebar’s AI Security Services portfolio provides the assurance that security is an integral part of the design and deployment of AI technologies. This proactive approach not only mitigates risks but also ensures that AI systems operate safely and in compliance with industry regulations.
