Securing AI Factories
AccuKnox secures on-prem and cloud GPU fleets with policy-driven isolation.
What are AI Factories?

- AI Factories are large-scale, GPU-powered infrastructure platforms
- Enables organizations to train, deploy, and manage AI models at enterprise scale
- Combines massive compute resources with collaborative development environments
- Creates new security and compliance challenges
Security Challenges in AI Factories
AI factories and GPUaaS introduce new risk vectors — data, model and compute need controls that go deeper than traditional cloud security.

Weak tenant isolation
Kubernetes offers namespace-level separation but not strong process/LSM-based isolation — attackers can attempt tenant escape and lateral movement.

Data & model exfiltration
Large datasets and trained weights are high-value targets — need provenance, access controls and telemetry to prevent leaks.

Model poisoning & supply-chain risks
Compromised images or data inputs can introduce backdoors and biased behavior in models.

GPU misuse (cryptomining)
GPU workloads are attractive targets for miners — controlling access to CUDA and monitoring kernel behavior is essential.

Compliance & audit gaps
Missing model provenance, weak logging and absent canary testing make audits and regulatory reporting difficult.

Telemetry blind spots
Lack of GPU-level, process-level and dataset-access telemetry limits detection and containment.
Deployment Modes
Deployment models designed to work for on-prem and cloud environments.
On‑Prem / Private Cloud
Block unsafe mounts, prevent RCE, enforce session timeouts and quotas.

Hybrid (Edge–Cloud)
Central policy plane with distributed enforcement and selective cloud burst to GPUaaS.

Cloud & GPUaaS
Agent-based runtime enforcement across hyperscalers and specialized GPU providers.
Supported AI / ML / LLM Platforms
Plug-ins and policy templates secure common platforms and runtimes.
