The Coalition for Secure AI is a collaborative open-source initiative that seeks to aid those looking to create secure-by design AI technologies. Its network of stakeholders in business and academia work together to develop holistic approaches and best practices, tools and methodologies to secure AI development and deployment.

This week, threat intelligence management, collaboration and response orchestration vendor Cyware became a member of CoSAI. Google is one of the founding members. Existing members include OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Nvidia, and PayPal.

The coalition has established three work streams that focus on different areas: software supply chain security for AI systems, preparing defenders for a changing cybersecurity landscape, and AI risk governance. In the future it expects to expand into additional areas. Cyware will contribute as an expert in AI-enabled security solutions to help develop industry standards that prioritize safety, ethics and transparency in AI development, the company said.

CoSAI operates under OASIS Open, an international standards and open source consortium that seeks to help members advance projects in areas including cybersecurity, blockchain, IoT, emergency management, cloud computing and legal data exchange.
