Overview

AWS Machine Learning services are a critical part of your cloud infrastructure. Following security best practices reduces attack surface, ensures compliance, and prevents common misconfigurations.

Machine Learning Security Checklist (5 items)

  1. 1Start with pre-trained models before training custom
  2. 2Use SageMaker Experiments to track training runs
  3. 3Enable Model Monitor to detect data drift in production
  4. 4Set up cost allocation tags on training jobs
  5. 5Clean up unused endpoints — they incur hourly charges
