Securing AI Together: GitLab’s Collaborative Approach with Security Researchers
Explore how GitLab partners with the global security research community to strengthen AI security, enhance transparency, and ensure responsible development of AI-powered features.
Partnering with Security Researchers to Secure AI
GitLab is reaffirming its commitment to responsible AI development by working closely with the global security research community. Through these partnerships, the platform is enhancing the safety and transparency of its AI-powered DevSecOps tools, ensuring that innovation doesn’t come at the cost of security.
Responsibility Built Into AI Features
As part of its Responsible AI Framework, GitLab integrates ethical and secure practices into the entire lifecycle of AI features. This includes rigorous auditing, human-in-the-loop oversight, and alignment with a transparent model of security. By embedding AI responsibly, users benefit from smarter solutions without compromising risk standards.
A Strong Bug Bounty Programme
GitLab’s bug bounty programme, hosted on HackerOne, allows researchers to report vulnerabilities in both core and AI functionalities. Continuously evolving the scope of this programme, GitLab encourages offensive security specialists to explore even AI-supporting infrastructure and logic, including ML model integration flaws.
Vulnerability Research Grants
To support further investigation of potential threats, GitLab funds Security Research Grants. These grants support researchers in exploring complex issues, such as prompt injections and model hallucinations, ensuring AI components are thoroughly investigated as they advance within the DevSecOps lifecycle.
A Future of Shared Responsibility
GitLab is helping set a precedent for security in AI-driven development. The collaboration with security experts creates a transparent and responsive ecosystem where potential risks are mitigated through active community engagement. Responsible AI must be secure AI—and with the help of vigilant researchers, GitLab continues to raise the bar.
