What does NIST AI 100-2e2025 (Adversarial ML) say about AI in banking?

Published Mar 24, 2025 · Last reviewed Aug 26, 2026

NIST AI 100-2e2025, finalized on March 24, 2025, is NIST's taxonomy and terminology of adversarial machine learning attacks and mitigations, updating the January 2024 edition (AI 100-2e2023). It covers attacks on both predictive AI (evasion, poisoning, privacy attacks) and generative AI (supply-chain attacks, direct and indirect prompt injection, misuse), organized by attacker goals, capabilities and knowledge, and includes a glossary intended to inform future security standards and practice guides.

What are the key points of NIST AI 100-2e2025 (Adversarial ML)?

  • Authored by NIST's Computer Security Division with Northeastern University, Cisco, the UK AI Security Institute and the US AI Safety Institute.
  • Predictive AI taxonomy: evasion, poisoning (data and model) and privacy attacks (membership inference, data reconstruction, model extraction), with mitigations for each.
  • Generative AI taxonomy: AI supply-chain attacks, direct prompting attacks including jailbreaks, indirect prompt injection via retrieved or tool content, and misuse enablement; the 2025 edition adds agent- and RAG-related attack vectors.
  • Classifies attacks by learning stage (training vs. deployment), attacker knowledge (white-box, gray-box, black-box) and objective (availability, integrity, privacy, misuse).
  • Is a reference document, not a control standard; NIST positions it to underpin later security guidance such as the COSAiS control overlays and the Cyber AI Profile.

What did NIST AI 100-2e2025 (Adversarial ML) change for banks?

The taxonomy gives bank security and model-validation teams a shared, citable vocabulary for threats to fraud models, credit models and LLM applications — prompt injection, data poisoning and model extraction — that existing model-risk guidance never named. It is the reference most bank threat models for AI now cite, and the basis for the AI-security work NIST is building on it.

What is NIST AI 100-2?

NIST's taxonomy of adversarial machine learning: a structured catalogue of attacks on predictive and generative AI systems (evasion, poisoning, privacy attacks, prompt injection, supply-chain attacks) and corresponding mitigations, latest edition March 2025.

Does NIST AI 100-2 cover prompt injection?

Yes. The generative-AI section covers direct prompting attacks such as jailbreaks and indirect prompt injection delivered through documents, web content or tool outputs, and discusses mitigations.
