Episode 66 — Reduce AI attack surface through smart deployment and integration choices (Task 10)
This episode explains how to reduce AI attack surface by making smart deployment and integration choices, which AAISM tests by asking what design decision most effectively lowers exposure without relying on a single tool. You will learn to minimize public endpoints, restrict plugin and connector capabilities, limit data access by default, and avoid unnecessary features that expand what an attacker can influence through prompts or API calls. We use examples like disabling high-risk integrations, separating environments, and scoping retrieval sources to show how small architectural decisions can prevent entire classes of incidents. Troubleshooting emphasizes recognizing hidden attack surface, such as overly permissive service accounts, broad network reachability, and “temporary” debug logging that leaks sensitive prompts or outputs.
