This session explores the specific security and compliance implications for OpenSearch when integrated into AI/ML pipelines. We’ll discuss these report insights, focusing on how to safeguard data, manage compliance, and mitigate risks in your AI-enhanced OpenSearch environments, alongside addressing broader software supply chain concerns like patching and regulatory navigation.
