Episode 42 — Eradicate root causes and recover safely after AI security incidents (Task 16)
This episode focuses on Task 16 by explaining how to eradicate root causes and recover safely after an AI security incident, because AAISM expects you to move beyond containment into durable fixes that prevent recurrence while maintaining evidence and governance discipline. You’ll learn how to distinguish symptom fixes, like disabling a feature, from root-cause eradication actions, like correcting overbroad connector permissions, closing misconfigured logging paths, removing poisoned data from pipelines, rotating credentials, and tightening change control for model updates and prompt templates. We’ll walk through a scenario where an internal assistant was exploited through a prompt injection path that caused it to query sensitive repositories, and you’ll practice selecting recovery steps that restore service in a controlled way, validate the system’s behavior under test conditions, and document the decisions and approvals that justify returning to normal operations. Troubleshooting emphasizes avoiding rushed re-enablement, incomplete access cleanup, and “silent” vendor changes that reintroduce exposure.
