AI Security Deep Dive delivers the specialized knowledge and hands-on experience needed to secure AI/ML systems against sophisticated attacks, protect sensitive training data, and implement robust defenses for AI-integrated applications. This intensive course is designed for programmers building AI-enabled applications, security analysts responsible for protecting AI systems, cybersecurity professionals expanding into AI security, and technical managers overseeing AI implementation projects.
Hands-On Format: - Days 1 and 2 feature interactive labs delivered via Jupyter notebooks, allowing participants to experiment directly with code, attacks, and defenses in a guided environment. - Day 3 focuses on real-world integration, exposing local models via a Flask API and integrating with a Large Language Model (LLM) using the Hugging Face Inference API (free tier, requires registration).
- Integration labs offer multiple language options: Python/Flask, Java/Spring, ASP.Net, and Node.js, so participants can choose the stack most relevant to their work.
- All labs and exercises are designed to be accessible with minimal setup, and detailed instructions are provided for each environment.
Throughout three intensive days, you will master the fundamentals of machine learning from a security perspective, identify and exploit vulnerabilities in AI systems through hands-on exercises, and implement practical defenses against data poisoning, adversarial attacks, and privacy breaches. You will gain critical experience securing traditional applications that integrate AI models, including LLM-powered features, and learn to validate inputs and outputs to prevent prompt injection and other AI-specific attacks. The course combines essential AI/ML concepts with real-world security scenarios, ensuring you understand both the technical foundations and practical implementation challenges.
With a 50 percent hands-on approach, this course provides extensive practical exercises where you will simulate adversarial attacks, implement data poisoning defenses, conduct membership inference attacks, secure API integrations with AI models, and build comprehensive security strategies for AI-powered applications. Whether you are developing AI systems, securing existing implementations, or preparing for the next wave of AI-driven threats, you will leave with the expertise to protect machine learning applications, implement security-first AI development practices, and respond effectively to emerging AI security challenges.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Master AI/ML security fundamentals from the ground up. Understand how machine learning works, identify attack vectors unique to AI systems, and assess security implications of different ML model types and deployment patterns.
- Identify and exploit AI-specific vulnerabilities through hands-on exercises. Conduct data poisoning attacks, implement adversarial examples, perform model inversion and membership inference attacks, and understand the mechanics of AI system compromise.
- Implement comprehensive defenses against AI security threats. Design and deploy robust input validation, output filtering, differential privacy mechanisms, and secure training pipelines to protect against known attack vectors.
- Secure traditional applications integrating AI models and APIs. Build secure interfaces to LLM APIs, implement prompt injection defenses, validate AI-generated content, and establish secure authentication and authorization patterns.
- Protect sensitive information in AI training and inference. Apply privacy-preserving techniques, detect and prevent data leakage through model behavior, and implement secure data handling practices for AI systems.
- Establish enterprise-grade AI security governance and incident response. Develop AI security policies, create monitoring and detection capabilities, design incident response procedures for AI breaches, and build security-first AI development workflows.
