Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
The practice of protecting artificial intelligence systems from threats throughout their lifecycle, from training data collection to production deployment. AI security covers securing training pipelines, preventing model theft, detecting adversarial inputs, and ensuring AI outputs do not leak sensitive data. It also includes governing how AI tools are used within an organization.
Every cybersecurity team now faces questions about AI governance and risk. Organizations deploying AI chatbots, copilots, and automated decision systems need professionals who can assess these new attack surfaces. Roles focused on AI security are among the fastest-emerging specializations in the field.
