Securing Cloud AI Deployments: Insights from MITRE ATLAS and the need for AI driven Defense by Zack Abzug

This report explains the MITRE ATLAS framework and details adversary tactics and techniques against AI-enabled systems—particularly cloud-hosted generative AI services (e.g., AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry)—covering initial access (valid accounts, exposed APIs), model access and abuse (LLMjacking, inference API exploitation), execution (prompt injection, jailbreaks), discovery, exfiltration, and impact, and describes how Vectra AI maps detections to ATLAS to help SOCs prioritize defenses.
