Audience

Who this course is for

Security engineers

AppSec and product security practitioners adding AI to their scope. Covers the full AIPSA framework including domain-specific labs and evidence generation.

L&D / enterprise training

Teams deploying AI security training at scale. SCORM 2004 compatible for Moodle, Canvas, Cornerstone, and Blackboard. xAPI statements for LRS integration.

Certification candidates

Anyone pursuing AIPSA Foundation, Practitioner, Advanced, or Distinguished credentials. The course maps directly to the assessment domain taxonomy.

Learning outcomes

What you will be able to do

Map AI system components, trust boundaries, and data flows into a structured inventory

Threat model AI products using STRIDE and AIPSA domain taxonomy

Execute prompt injection, indirect injection, and context manipulation test cases

Analyze RAG pipeline configurations for authorization gaps and tenant isolation failures

Evaluate agent tool permissions for scope creep, side effects, and approval gate gaps

Audit MLOps stacks for credential exposure, overprivileged IAM, and artifact security

Assess AI vendor trust centers, DPAs, and security questionnaires for procurement blockers

Build governance evidence artifacts: policy gap analyses, risk acceptance statements, control maps

Produce logging architectures with the minimum forensic surface for AI-specific incidents

Lead AI security incident response exercises with containment and post-incident controls

Map controls to OWASP LLM Top 10, NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, ISO 42001, and EU AI Act

Generate customer-ready evidence artifacts for security questionnaires and audits

Prerequisites

What you should know first
