AI Security Fundamentals Course

Modern security is becoming AI-first. As organizations embed AI into products, workflows, and decision-making systems, they must secure not just infrastructure but models, data pipelines, and intelligent outputs. This course introduces the fundamentals of AI Security and shows how to move from reactive protection to structured, lifecycle-driven defense built specifically for AI systems. You’ll learn how AI differs from traditional software, identify real-world AI threats like data poisoning and prompt injection, and secure the full AI lifecycle from development and model hardening to runtime monitoring and incident response.

The course also covers global AI governance standards including NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, and ISO/IEC 42001, and demonstrates how Akitra Andromeda®, powered by Agentic AI, enables proactive security, automated evidence collection, and continuous compliance, helping you build safe, responsible, and resilient AI systems.
