MLSecOps Tools 2026
MLSecOps is the practice of building security into the machine learning lifecycle, from training data and model artifacts through deployment and runtime. The tools here defend against threats that traditional AppSec misses: poisoned training data, tampered model files, adversarial inputs that fool a model at inference, and model theft or extraction. When your organization is shipping ML models or generative AI into production, this is the category that secures the parts your SAST scanner and WAF never see. It matters most to security teams supporting data science and AI engineering groups that have moved faster than the controls around them.

How to choose MLSecOps tools
- Match the tool to your ML risk profile: model scanning and supply chain controls if you consume external models, data integrity and robustness testing if you train your own.
- Confirm it covers the lifecycle stages you care about: training data, model artifacts and registries, and runtime inference, not just one slice.
- Check integration with your actual ML stack, including the model registry, training pipeline, and serving infrastructure you already run.
- Look for explicit mapping to MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP ML and LLM Top 10 so findings translate into a framework your auditors and board recognize.
- If you run generative AI in production, prioritize runtime guardrails and automated red teaming for prompt injection and data leakage.
- Decide whether you need a focused point tool for one threat class or a broader platform that spans data, models, and runtime in one console.
MLSecOps Tools FAQ
Common questions about MLSecOps tools, selection guides, pricing, and comparisons.
MLSecOps is the discipline of securing the machine learning lifecycle end to end. It covers training data integrity, the model supply chain (artifacts, registries, dependencies), and the deployed model itself against runtime attacks like adversarial inputs and model extraction. Think of it as DevSecOps applied to ML, addressing risks that conventional application security controls were never designed to catch.
MLOps is about reliably building, deploying, and operating models: pipelines, versioning, monitoring, and retraining. MLSecOps adds the adversarial and trust layer on top of that. It asks who tampered with the training data, whether a model file is malicious, and how a deployed model behaves when an attacker probes it. MLOps keeps models running; MLSecOps keeps them from being weaponized or compromised.
The common ones are data poisoning during training, malicious model artifacts such as deserialization payloads in pickle files, adversarial examples crafted to flip a prediction at inference, model extraction or inversion that steals the model or its training data, and prompt injection against LLM-backed applications. Many tools also map findings to frameworks like MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP ML and LLM Top 10.
Begin with where your risk concentrates. If you consume third-party or open-source models, prioritize model scanning and supply chain controls. If you train your own models, weight data integrity and adversarial robustness testing. For generative AI in production, look at runtime guardrails and red teaming. Then confirm it fits your existing ML platform and registry, and whether it maps results to MITRE ATLAS or the OWASP ML Top 10.
Existing tools cover part of it. Your container scanner sees the runtime image and your SAST sees the serving code, but neither understands a poisoned dataset, a malicious serialized model, or an adversarial input. Dedicated MLSecOps tooling fills that gap. Most teams keep their current AppSec stack and add ML-specific scanning, robustness testing, and runtime defenses rather than replacing anything.
