Digital signatures are coming to AI models as cybersecurity evolves to meet emerging threats. Google's collaboration with NVIDIA and HiddenLayer demonstrates how traditional security controls must adapt to protect machine learning systems vulnerable to new forms of tampering and exploitation. This essential evolution mirrors the broader need for robust security validation across all systems.

Security control testing forms the foundation of effective cybersecurity governance. Without proper validation, organizations operate on blind faith that their protections actually work. In this deep dive into Domain 6.2 of the CISSP, Sean Gerber breaks down the critical differences between assessments, testing, and audits while exploring practical approaches to vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and log analysis.

Vulnerability assessments serve as your first line of defense by systematically identifying weaknesses across networks, hosts, applications, and wireless infrastructure. The Common Vulnerability Scoring System helps prioritize remediation efforts, but understanding your architecture remains crucial - a low-scoring vulnerability in a critical system might pose more risk than a high-scoring one in an isolated environment. Meanwhile, penetration testing takes validation further by simulating real-world attacks through carefully structured phases from reconnaissance to exploitation.

As organizations increasingly embrace APIs, ML models, and complex software architectures, security testing must evolve beyond traditional boundaries. Code reviews, interface testing, and compliance checks ensure that security is built into systems from the ground up rather than bolted on afterward. The shift toward "security left" integration aims to catch vulnerabilities earlier in the development lifecycle, reducing both costs and risks.
