AAISM’s technical control guidance emphasizes that when using open-source libraries, the best safeguard for integrity is to scan the packages for malware before installation. This ensures that compromised or malicious code does not enter the AI system environment. Maintaining lists aids consistency but not security. Always using the latest versions may introduce unverified vulnerabilities. Retraining models addresses functionality but not software integrity. Therefore, the strongest protective measure is pre-installation malware scanning of open-source packages.
