MITER launches AI incident sharing initiative

MITER's Center for Threat-Informed Defense announced this week the launch of the AI ​​Incident Sharing initiative, a collaboration with more than 15 companies to expand the community's knowledge of it Threats and defenses for AI-powered systems.

The incident sharing initiative falls under the purview of the Center's Secure AI project and aims to enable rapid and secure collaboration on threats, attacks and accidents involving AI-enabled systems. It expands the reach of the MITER ATLAS community knowledge basewhich has been collecting and characterizing data on anonymized incidents for two years. As part of this initiative, a community of employees receives protected and anonymized data on real-world AI incidents.

Incidents can be submitted via Web (at from anyone. Submitting organizations will be considered for membership with the goal of enabling data-driven risk intelligence and analysis at scale.

Secure AI also expanded the ATLAS threat framework to include information on the threat landscape of generative AI-powered systems, and added several new case studies and attack techniques focused on generative AI, as well as new methods for mitigating attacks on these systems. In November 2023, MITER, in collaboration with Microsoft, released updates to the ATLAS knowledge base with a focus on generative AI.

“Standardized and rapid incident information sharing will enable the entire community to improve the collective defense of such systems and mitigate external damage,” Douglas Robbins, vice president of MITER Labs, said in a opinion.

MITER operates a similar public-private information sharing partnership with the Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing database to share data and safety information to detect and prevent aviation hazards.

Secure AI's employees span across industries, including representatives from financial services, technology and healthcare. The list includes AttackIQ, BlueRock, booz Allen Hamilton, CATO Networks, Citigroup, Cloud Security Alliance, CrowdStrike, FS-ISAC, Fujitsu, HCA Healthcare, HiddenLayer, Intel, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Microsoft, Standard Chartered and Verizon Business.
