Sign and verify model artifacts (e.g., using sigstore, cosign)

Store models in a trusted registry or model repository

Scan models for malicious code or unexpected behavior

Use model provenance tracking (who trained, where, and how)

Implement AIBOM (AI Bill of Materials) for transparency

Monitor for model drift and adversarial inputs

Encrypt data in transit (TLS/SSL)

Encrypt data at rest (e.g., OpenShift + KMS integration)

Ensure differential privacy or anonymization if using real user data

Apply access controls on training and inference data

Enforce authentication (Keycloak, OAuth2, OIDC)

Use API Gateway (e.g., 3scale) for rate-limiting and throttling

Validate all input payloads to prevent injection attacks

Use service mesh (Istio or OpenShift Service Mesh) for secure service-to-service communication

Run models in isolated environments (containers with selinux/seccomp/AppArmor)

Use confidential containers or confidential computing (e.g., Intel SGX, AMD SEV)

Monitor containers with runtime security tools (ACS - Advanced Cluster Security)

Regularly patch and update base images and OS

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in OpenShift for model owners and users

Implement multi-tenant isolation policies

Use scoped tokens for API access with expiration

Enable audit logs for API access, model invocation, and data access

Integrate with SIEM/logging (e.g., OpenShift + EFK stack, Splunk, or Graylog)

Monitor resource usage for anomalies (e.g., unexpected model calls)

Conduct AI risk assessments (NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001)

Ensure regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, COPPA, etc.)

Maintain documentation for AI lifecycle and incident response

Use SBOM tools for dependencies (e.g., Syft, Grype)

Scan third-party libraries used in models and inference services

Validate model and container integrity during deployment (admission controllers)

Use OpenShift GitOps to enforce policy-as-code for model deployment

Apply OpenShift ACS (Advanced Cluster Security) policies to enforce build/deploy/runtime rules

Secure model routes with OpenShift Routes + TLS + Keycloak Authz

Use sealed secrets or Vault for credentials
