Intent and implementation
Mitigating attacks on infrastructure hosting AI services, including AI red teaming for large language models, is crucial for safe model development and deployment. Regular security and penetration testing help identify and address infrastructure vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Databricks operates a formal, documented vulnerability management program overseen by the Chief Security Officer (CSO). The program is management-approved, reviewed annually, and communicated to all relevant internal parties. The policy mandates that vulnerabilities be addressed based on severity: critical vulnerabilities within 14 days, high-severity vulnerabilities within 30 days, and medium-severity vulnerabilities within 60 days. AI red teaming, especially for large language models, is an essential component of ensuring model safety and security. Databricks conducts regular AI red teaming on models and systems developed internally.

Verification
Project adaptation: get_control returns a concrete evidence request, a proposed test, and an acceptance condition. A control description or product feature is not evidence of deployment or effectiveness.
