About this course
AI security isn't traditional security with a new label. It's a distinct discipline that requires new mental models, new controls, and ongoing attention. This course teaches you to think like an AI security practitioner.
You'll cover the three trust boundaries (input, behavior, output), the four-actor threat model, prompt injection, data privacy, behavioral controls, agent security, and how to build a sustainable AI security program.
This course is built for people who are already comfortable with AI basics — it goes deep on security implications rather than explaining fundamentals. Completion of any earlier level is helpful but not required.

Why AI Security Is Different
Develop the mental model for AI security — why traditional infosec thinking is necessary but insufficient, and where the new trust boundaries actually live.
Prompt Injection and Input Attacks
Understand how attackers manipulate AI systems through their inputs — direct and indirect prompt injection, jailbreaks, and what realistic defenses look like.
Data Privacy and Information Boundaries
Develop the judgment to decide what data can safely flow into AI systems — what providers do with your inputs, where it goes, and how to think about information boundaries in practice.
Setting Guardrails for Your AI
Understand how to constrain AI behavior with system prompts and behavioral controls — and recognize what these controls can and cannot do.
Securing Agents and Action-Taking Systems
Apply security thinking to AI agents — systems that take actions in the world — where the stakes, the controls, and the responsibilities are categorically different from those for chat assistants.
Building a Security Program Around AI
Take everything from Level 6 and turn it into a working security program — threat modeling, vendor evaluation, incident response, and the organizational practices that make AI security sustainable.
