Securing the AI Storage Layer
The files in your storage are the knowledge base your AI reads, trusts, and acts on. Copilots and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines connect directly to SharePoint, Amazon S3, and Azure Blob. Most AI security strategies focus on access controls and model guardrails. Learn how compromised files can manipulate AI responses, expose sensitive data, and undermine business decisions; even when your models remain secure.

What You Will Learn
Most AI security programs secure the model and control who can access data. This session focuses on securing the files your AI reads.
File Storage Is Now an AI
Attack Surface
Malware, poisoned documents, and untagged sensitive data become active risks once AI connects to storage. Researchers demonstrated that inserting only five malicious documents into a 2.6 million-document knowledge base achieved a 90% attack success rate against Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.
Why Existing Defenses
Miss It
Files are scanned at upload, then rarely again. Access controls decide who reaches them, guardrails act after they are read, and none of it inspects the file itself. Independent research shows existing detection tools often miss malicious polyglot files, identifying only 30 real-world samples across 15 attack chains (Association for Computing Machinery, 2025)
What Good AI Storage
Security Looks Like
MetaDefender™ Storage Security verifies files across SharePoint, Amazon S3, and NAS before they are used by AI applications. Metascan™ uses 30+ anti-malware engines, while Deep CDR™ Technology, Proactive DLP™, and Adaptive Sandbox analysis help ensure trusted, compliant data for RAG pipelines and AI copilots.
