New Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning Blog Post!

Dear Colleagues,   

ln our last Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning (PPFL) post, we explored the problem of providing input privacy in PPFL systems for the horizontally-partitioned setting. In this new post, Protecting Model Updates in Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning: Part Two, we focus on techniques for providing input privacy when data is vertically partitioned. This is particularly challenging, and organizations will need to grapple with trade-offs between data leakage and performance costs. Learn more in the fifth post of our series.   

Protecting Model Updates in Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning: Part Two by David Darais, Joseph Near, Mark Durkee, and Dave Buckley

About the Guide

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 introduced the term “Community Profiles” to reflect the use of the CSF for developing use case-specific cybersecurity risk management guidance for multiple organizations. This guide provides considerations for creating and using Community Profiles to help implement the Framework. The guide describes Community Profiles, provides guidance for the content that may be conveyed through a Community Profile, and offers a Community Profile Lifecycle (Plan, Develop, Use, Maintain).

Read more about this guide, including the benefits of using Community Profiles.
