Welcome to ThirdKey Research, where we’re pioneering the future of AI security through our “Zero Trust for AI” approach.
Our Mission
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into critical systems and decision-making processes, the need for robust security frameworks has never been more urgent. Traditional security models that rely on perimeter defense are insufficient for the dynamic, distributed nature of AI systems.
At ThirdKey Research, we believe that every AI interaction should be verified, every model should be validated, and every decision should be auditable.
Zero Trust for AI
Our research focuses on extending Zero Trust principles to artificial intelligence systems. Just as Zero Trust networking assumes “never trust, always verify,” we apply this philosophy to AI:
Core Principles
- Verify AI Identity: Ensuring AI models and agents are authenticated and authorized
- Validate AI Behavior: Continuous monitoring of AI decision-making processes
- Audit AI Actions: Complete traceability of AI-driven outcomes
- Minimize AI Privilege: Least-privilege access for AI systems
- Assume AI Compromise: Designing systems that remain secure even when AI components are compromised
Research Areas
Our current research spans several critical domains:
Model Security
- Adversarial robustness and defense mechanisms
- Model integrity verification and tamper detection
- Secure model deployment and distribution
AI Governance
- Automated compliance monitoring for AI systems
- Risk assessment frameworks for AI deployment
- Ethical AI decision-making protocols
Threat Intelligence
- AI-specific attack vectors and mitigation strategies
- Emerging threats in the AI ecosystem
- Security implications of AI advancement
Looking Forward
The AI revolution is here, but it doesn’t have to come at the cost of security. Through rigorous research, practical frameworks, and collaborative innovation, we’re building the foundation for trustworthy AI systems.
Stay tuned for our upcoming research publications, technical deep-dives, and practical guides for implementing Zero Trust principles in your AI infrastructure.
