Secure AI Infrastructure: Building Trustworthy AI Systems in Distributed Environments
Naveen Birru ● January 26, 2026
Three Key Takeaways
AI fundamentally changes the threat model: Data poisoning, model theft, adversarial inputs, and inference abuse expand the attack surface across the entire AI lifecycle—not just deployment.
Zero Trust is mandatory for distributed AI: Continuous verification, least-privilege access, and micro-segmentation are essential to secure AI systems spanning cloud, on-prem, and edge environments.
