How to meet it
OWASP AISVS v1.01
Infrastructure, Configuration & Deployment Security · AI Hardware Security
Lock down accelerator interconnects
Verify that accelerator interconnects are restricted to approved topologies and authenticated endpoints.
OWASP AISVS v1.01, requirement 4.2.5
In plain English
Limit the high-speed links between GPUs and nodes to approved layouts and authenticated endpoints.
What good looks like
- Interconnect topology is documented and approved.
- Only authenticated nodes can join the fabric.
- Changes to the topology are detected.
How teams usually do it
- Fabric manager settings and network segmentation for the interconnect.
Evidence an auditor would accept
- The approved topology and fabric configuration.
Common mistakes
- Treating the GPU interconnect as trusted because it is inside the data centre.
