Security in the age of AI requires more than just protecting the model; it requires securing the entire ecosystem. Google’s SAIF is designed to provide a holistic, “secure-by-default” methodology for building and deploying AI.

Authored by Arthur Steel, this toolkit takes the technical complexity of SAIF and provides structured, actionable templates. Whether you are building on Google Cloud (GCP) or a multi-cloud environment, these documents provide the framework to ensure your AI infrastructure is resilient against modern adversarial threats.

The Six SAIF Pillars Covered:

1. Expand strong security foundations: Hardening the underlying infrastructure.
2. Extend detection and response: Adapting SOC operations for AI-specific threats.
3. Automate defenses: Using AI to secure AI.
4. Harmonize platform-level controls: Ensuring consistency across the tech stack.
5. Adapt controls to mitigate risks: Scalable policies for model development.
6. Contextualize AI risk: Business-centric risk mapping.
