Cybersecurity and Applied AI career insights
© 2023-2026 Bespoke Intermedia LLC
Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
A cybersecurity discipline focused on attacking and defending machine learning models. Adversarial techniques include crafting inputs that trick classifiers, poisoning training data to corrupt model behavior, and extracting proprietary model details. Defenders build models that resist these manipulations while maintaining accuracy on legitimate inputs.
As organizations deploy ML for threat detection and fraud prevention, attackers target the models themselves. Security engineers who understand adversarial ML can protect AI-driven security tools from manipulation. This skill set is increasingly requested in roles at companies building AI-powered cybersecurity products.
