ISC2 – Securing AI: Cybersecurity Strategy Workshop

This workshop is designed for cybersecurity professionals, IT security managers, risk officers, compliance specialists, and technology leaders who are responsible for securing AI implementations or developing AI security strategies. Participants typically have a background in information security and want to expand their expertise to address the unique security challenges of artificial intelligence systems.

Participants should have a foundational understanding of information security principles and some familiarity with AI/ML concepts. While deep technical knowledge of machine learning isn’t required, basic awareness of how AI systems work will help you get the most value from the workshop. A CISSP or equivalent security certification is beneficial but not mandatory.

Yes, attendees will earn 16 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits that can be applied toward maintaining ISC² certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, or SSCP. A certificate of completion will be provided at the end of the workshop that documents the CPE hours earned.

The workshop combines lectures, case studies, and hands-on lab exercises. Approximately 40% of the program consists of practical exercises, including vulnerability assessments, threat modeling activities, and a capstone exercise where you’ll develop a comprehensive security strategy for an AI implementation. You’ll need to bring a laptop to participate in these exercises.

The curriculum covers security considerations for various AI deployment models, including cloud-based AI services, on-premises machine learning systems, and embedded AI. We address security challenges in different domains including computer vision, natural language processing, and predictive analytics, with examples from various industries including financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.

All participants receive a comprehensive digital resource package that includes assessment templates, security checklists, reference architectures, and recommended practices. Workshop attendees also gain access to a private online community where they can connect with instructors and fellow participants for ongoing discussion and support. ISC² also offers advanced AI security courses for those looking to further specialize in this domain.
