Overview
Understand the full GenAI threat landscape and how modern attacks target LLMs and RAG systems, Apply the AI Security Reference Architecture to design secure AI applications, Perform threat modeling for GenAI systems and map risks to concrete mitigations, Implement AI firewalls, filtering rules, and runtime protection controls, Build a secure AI SDLC with dataset security, evals, and red-teaming practices, Configure identity, access, and permission models for AI tools and endpoints, Apply data governance techniques for RAG pipelines, embeddings, and connectors, Use SPM platforms to monitor drift, violations, and AI asset inventory, Deploy observability and evaluation tooling to track model behavior and quality, Assemble an end-to-end AI security control stack and build a 30/60/90 day roadmap
Software developers building or integrating AI features, ML and AI engineers working with LLMs or RAG pipelines, Architects designing secure AI driven systems, Data engineers and data scientists handling AI datasets, Security engineers and DevSecOps teams supporting AI workloads, Technical leads and managers responsible for AI adoption and risk management
Intro level understanding of how modern applications or cloud systems work, Optional familiarity with machine learning or LLM based tools, Some exposure to security fundamentals is useful but not mandatory, Comfort with technical documentation and architectural schematics, No background in AI security or specialized tooling required
AI security is no longer optional. Modern LLMs, RAG pipelines, agents, vector databases, and AI powered tools introduce entirely new attack surfaces that traditional cybersecurity does not cover. Organizations face prompt injection, data leakage, model exploitation, unsafe tool calls, drift, misconfiguration, and unreliable governance.
This course gives you a complete, practical, architecture driven guide to securing real GenAI systems end to end. No fluff, no theory for theory’s sake. Only actionable engineering practices, proven controls, and real world templates.
What this course delivers
A full AI security blueprint, including:
AI Security Reference Architecture for model, prompt, data, tools, and monitoring layers
The complete GenAI threat landscape and how attacks actually work
AI firewalls, runtime guardrails, policy engines, and safe tool execution
AI SDLC workflows: dataset security, red teaming, evals, versioning
RAG data governance: ACLs, filtering, encryption, secure embeddings
Access control and identity for AI endpoints and tool integrations
