A Comprehensive AI Security Pipeline: Drift Detection, Adversarial Robustness and Automated ML Testing

The wide-scale uptake of machine learning applications in safety-sensitive applications renders modern AI deployments prone to adversarial attacks, statistical distribution changes, and various governance reliability issues. Current AI security methodologies generally handle the discussed issues separately, making the current security approaches ineffective in real-world conditions. In this work, an integrated AI security pipeline combining the functionalities of statistical drift detection, adversarial robustness evaluation, governance auditing, and experiment tracking is suggested. The presented system uses Kolmogorov—Smirnov tests, Population Stability Index analysis, and drift detection in data streams via ADWIN in addition to adversarial robustness evaluation through FGSM, PGD, and DeepFool attacks. The Giskard library was used to audit AI models’ performance from the governance perspective. Evaluation of our approach on image and tabular datasets showed the capability of detecting statistically significant drift and significant CNN robustness degradation under increasingly complex adversarial attacks. It turned out that iterative and geometry-aware attack schemes perform significantly better than one-shot perturbations. Drift detection proved effective at spotting statistically significant distribution changes before actual deployment failures.
