Course Overview
The Credential for People Who Secure the AI Everyone Else Is Building
AI systems need security beyond traditional IT controls. They can be manipulated through inputs, corrupted through training data, and compromised through supply chains or the tools and permissions they are given.
CAISP teaches you to assess AI security posture, implement controls, respond to AI incidents and support governance — with labs [confirm lab access for self-study] on prompt injection testing, AI red teaming, threat intelligence and AI-assisted malware analysis. In the self-study format you work through the official PECB course materials on your own, then sit the same exam and earn the same credential as learners on the instructor-led course.
New Attack Surface
Prompt injection, data poisoning and supply-chain risks need new defences.
Real Tools, Real Labs
Work with MITRE ATLAS, the OWASP LLM Top 10 and AI red teaming.
AI for Defence
Use AI to strengthen monitoring, threat hunting and analysis.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who builds, defends or governs AI systems
You need a solid foundation in cybersecurity (threat modelling, access control, incident response, monitoring) and a basic understanding of how ML systems work.
Is it right for you?
Self-study or instructor-led?
Both lead to the same PECB exam and credential. Self-study suits learners who already have considerable knowledge of the subject and prefer to work from the materials alone.
