From image classifiers to malware detection and even LLM-based systems, learn how attackers exploit decision boundaries and why this matters for cybersecurity.We break down:- What model evasion attacks are and how they differ from data poisoning- How attackers tweak features to bypass classifiers (images, phishing, malware)- Real-world tactics like model extraction and trial-and-error evasion- Why non-determinism in AI models makes evasion harder to predict- Advanced threats: model theft, ablation, and adversarial AI- Defensive strategies: adversarial training, API throttling, and realistic expectations- Future outlook: regulatory trends, transparency, and the ongoing arms raceWhether you’re deploying EDR solutions or fine-tuning AI models, this episode will help you understand why evasion is an enduring challenge, and what you can do to defend against it.#AISecurity #ModelEvasion #Cybersecurity #BHIS #LLMSecurity #aithreatsBrought to you by Black Hills Information Security https://www.blackhillsinfosec.com----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Joff Thyer - https://blackhillsinfosec.com/team/joff-thyer/Derek Banks - https://www.blackhillsinfosec.com/team/derek-banks/Brian Fehrman - https://www.blackhillsinfosec.com/team/brian-fehrman/Bronwen Aker - http://blackhillsinfosec.com/team/bronwen-aker/Ben Bowman - https://www.blackhillsinfosec.com/team/ben-bowman/ (00:00) - Intro & Sponsor Shoutouts (01:19) - What Are Model Evasion Attacks?
