🎓 As climate tech adoption accelerates, this presentation reveals critical security vulnerabilities in machine learning systems and practical strategies for protecting energy infrastructure.

Speakers:
Doreen Sacker

Description:
In this presentation, MLOps Engineer Doreen Sacker examines critical security considerations for machine learning systems in climate technology applications. The talk addresses the increasing cybersecurity challenges faced by energy infrastructure as more homes adopt smart energy management systems and solar installations. Sacker analyzes three key machine learning security risks identified by OWASP: input manipulation attacks, data poisoning, and AI supply chain vulnerabilities. Through real-world examples, including inverter hijacking and compromised PyTorch dependencies, she demonstrates how these vulnerabilities can impact energy systems and grid stability. The presentation outlines practical security measures across the machine learning lifecycle, emphasizing data validation, least privilege access controls, and containerization best practices. Sacker advocates for regular model updates, adversarial testing, and anomaly monitoring to maintain robust security postures. The discussion highlights the dual nature of AI in cybersecurity - both as a potential vulnerability and a tool for enhanced threat detection. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating security considerations into initial system design and fostering collaboration between machine learning and security teams.
