Course Overview
As artificial intelligence becomes embedded across enterprise systems, understanding its security risks is critical for IT and security professionals. This course introduces the key threats facing AI systems, including adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and model vulnerabilities, providing a structured foundation in AI security.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, learners explore how attackers target AI pipelines and how organisations can mitigate these risks. The course also introduces governance frameworks, ethical considerations, and secure development practices aligned with responsible AI adoption.
By the end of the programme, participants will have a clear understanding of how to identify, assess, and manage risks in AI systems. This prepares learners to support secure AI implementations and contribute to organisational AI governance strategies.
