Who this program is for

Cybersecurity students with core foundations, security analysts, engineers and professionals moving into applied AI security. Security teams can take a private cohort.

Entry requirements

Working knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, Windows/Linux and security fundamentals. Read basic logs, use a terminal and edit a small Python script. A readiness exercise checks these skills before entry; beginners should complete foundation preparation first. Prior machine-learning research is not required.

Weekly commitment

Plan for 4–6 hours of independent lab and project work each week, in addition to live sessions. Live time totals 72108 hours across 72 sessions; assignments and preparation do not count toward those hours.

Recommended planning baseline: a laptop with 16 GB RAM, 30 GB free disk space, reliable internet and permission to install the agreed local lab tools. Confirm the actual cohort setup before buying equipment. A GPU is not assumed; heavier models may need an approved hosted endpoint with separate usage charges.

WEEK-BY-WEEK CURRICULUM

Learn through security work.

Each week combines explanation, guided practice and evidence review across three sessions. The lab tasks and portfolio outputs below form the assessment trail.

WEEK 1–2

AI security foundations and evidence discipline

LLMs, retrieval, tool use and model limits in security work; data classification, secret removal, untrusted input, hallucinated indicators and reproducible verification. Refresh only the networking and scripting needed for the labs.

Lab: Set up an isolated Linux/Python lab. Compare AI-generated alert summaries with source logs and document unsupported claims.

Evidence: AI-use policy, lab baseline and evidence-checking rubric.

WEEK 3–4

Security data and AI-assisted detection

Endpoint, identity, DNS and network telemetry; parsing, time zones, data quality, Python/Pandas, rule drafting and supervised anomaly detection. Precision, recall, class imbalance, drift and false positives.

Lab: Use labelled benign and suspicious records to compare a rule baseline with a small anomaly model. Verify AI-generated queries before running them.

Evidence: Versioned dataset notes, tested detection queries and a false-positive analysis.

WEEK 5–6

AI-powered SOC operations

SIEM triage, alert enrichment, case management, asset context, severity, escalation and analyst handovers. Source-grounded security copilots with redacted evidence.

Lab: Investigate replayed identity and endpoint alerts using Wazuh and case worksheets; compare manual and assisted triage on the same cases.

Evidence: Triage casebook with citations, uncertainty, review time and escalation decisions.

WEEK 7–8

Threat intelligence and threat hunting

ATT&CK-based hypotheses, observable validation, intelligence quality, Sigma logic, coverage gaps and evidence-led hunting. Distinguish correlation from proof.

Lab: Hunt through a controlled multi-stage intrusion dataset, validate an AI-proposed hypothesis and reject decoy indicators.

Evidence: Hunt report, tested rules and an ATT&CK coverage map.

WEEK 9–10

Incident response and supervised automation

Scope, timelines, evidence integrity, containment options, recovery, communications and post-incident review. Separate read-only enrichment from actions that change systems.

Lab: Build a local enrichment workflow with an approval gate; run a ransomware-style tabletop using synthetic events, then test recovery and rollback.

Evidence: Incident timeline, approval log, response playbook and recovery checklist.

WEEK 11–12

Cloud and identity security with AI

Cloud audit logs, IAM, service accounts, secrets, storage exposure, workload identity and least privilege. Validate AI-generated policy changes and infrastructure findings.

Lab: Review sample AWS/Azure policies and audit events; scan a local container and IaC sample, propose a minimal permission set and test it in a sandbox.

Evidence: Cloud risk findings, permission diff, test results and rollback plan.

WEEK 13–14

GenAI and RAG application security

Prompt injection, unsafe output handling, sensitive-data exposure, retrieval access control, document poisoning, embeddings and tenant isolation. Threat models across model, application and data boundaries.

Lab: Build a small RAG assistant with synthetic documents; reproduce indirect prompt injection and cross-role retrieval failures, then apply and retest controls.

Evidence: Data-flow threat model and before/after security regression results.

WEEK 15–16

AI red teaming and adversarial evaluation

Authorized test scope, threat-driven test design, garak and PyRIT, manual verification, attack-success rate and clean-task performance. Adversarial-ML concepts: poisoning, evasion, extraction and privacy attacks.

Lab: Evaluate an intentionally vulnerable local AI application with bounded probes and a benign control set. Verify findings manually and record model/settings versions.

Evidence: Reproducible red-team report with severity, evidence, fixes and residual risk.

WEEK 17–18

Agentic AI and AI-to-AI security

Tool permissions, MCP trust boundaries, identity delegation, memory/context poisoning, tool-output injection and multi-agent trust. Approval gates, budgets, monitoring, containment and kill switches.

Lab: Build a restricted tool-using agent; test a malicious tool response and memory contamination. Enforce allowlists and prevent unapproved writes.

Evidence: Agent permission matrix, execution traces, denied-action tests and containment runbook.

WEEK 19–20

AI cyber risk and governance

NIST CSF and AI RMF mapping, AI inventory, vendor assessment, supply chain, control ownership, risk acceptance and audit evidence. Communicate technical findings to decision makers.

Lab: Review a simulated company adopting a security copilot and customer-facing agent. Check AI-drafted controls against actual evidence.

Evidence: Risk register, control matrix, vendor review and executive decision memo.

WEEK 21–22

Cyber Range and AI5 Emerging Threat Lab

Connect SOC investigation, compromised AI application, cloud identity and response decisions in one scoped exercise. Evaluate a newly documented AI-security development.

Lab: Rotate analyst, reviewer and incident commander roles through staged evidence releases; reproduce a safe emerging-threat test and validate a mitigation.

Evidence: Range case record, threat advisory, detection updates and lessons learned.

WEEK 23–24

Employer-grade capstone and oral defence

Deliver an auditable security improvement for a simulated enterprise; demonstrate technical controls, trade-offs, recovery and operational handover.

Lab: Run the integrated capstone against unseen benign and adversarial cases, present it live and answer individual verification questions.

Evidence: Repository, evidence bundle, scorecard, runbooks, executive briefing and individual oral defence.

Tool stack: know what you will actually use.

ASSESS THE WORK, NOT THE PROMPT

Portfolio and employer-grade capstone

Final capstone

Secure a simulated organisation’s AI-assisted SOC and internal RAG agent. Investigate a staged intrusion, identify an AI trust-boundary failure, implement and retest controls, demonstrate containment and recovery, and defend the final risk decision to a review panel.

40% · Practical evidence

Reproducible results, source checks, tested controls and useful lab records.

20% · Scenario decisions

Range performance, uncertainty, approval boundaries and communication.

40% · Capstone & defence

Working or auditable deliverables, unseen test cases, handover and individual explanation.

Completion standard: 70% overall, all mandatory submissions and a pass on evidence verification and authorization controls. Unsafe unapproved actions or fabricated evidence must be corrected and reassessed. AI assistance must be disclosed; copied model output without verification is not accepted as proof.

Technical scorecards include false positives, detection or attack-success measures, clean-task performance and reproducibility. Governance scorecards check evidence completeness, control ownership, risk decisions and traceability. An attractive report alone does not meet the standard.

PRACTISE THE WHOLE DECISION

Cyber Range: investigate, verify, respond.

The Cyber Range is a sequence of isolated training scenarios using local applications, synthetic company records and replayed security events. Technical routes test controls; the governance route reviews the evidence and authorizes decisions in tabletop exercises.

Investigate

Work with incomplete evidence, noisy alerts and an AI system that can make mistakes. Record hypotheses and competing explanations.

Verify

Reproduce findings, test benign controls and keep source references, timestamps, configuration and version records.

Respond

Request approval for changes, test containment and rollback, then explain remaining risk in an operational handover.

All testing stays within authorized training targets. No live third-party attacks or real customer secrets. Hosted range subscriptions and continuous access are not assumed; confirm the cohort’s delivery and access arrangements before enrolment.

BUILT TO KEEP LEARNING

AI5 Emerging Threat Lab

Each cohort examines a recent AI-security advisory or research finding within its scheduled lab time. Learners check the source, assess relevance, reproduce a safe bounded example where feasible, test a mitigation and add an evidence-backed advisory to their portfolio.

Topics may include new agent protocols, AI-to-AI trust failures, memory poisoning, impersonation, autonomous tool misuse or changes in defensive models. This prepares learners for increasingly capable AI without speculative claims about AGI. The lab refreshes case material while preserving the program’s core learning outcomes and hours.

Live Online. Built for professional teams worldwide.

English-language live instruction, practical assignments and individual review. International learners should share their country and time zone so admissions can confirm a suitable cohort, local class times and daylight-saving changes before enrolment. Three sessions per week; generally 60–90 minutes each.

AI5 also serves learners in India and Delhi NCR. These programs are listed as Live Online; any on-site company delivery requires a separate agreed scope. Ask for batch dates, fees, applicable taxes, payment currency and international payment instructions. No batch date or commercial-tool access is promised until confirmed.

Companies can request a private cohort around approved tools, sanitized scenarios, team roles and measurable acceptance criteria. Discuss company training.

Questions before you join

How is this different from a conventional cybersecurity course?

AI-assisted security work and the security of AI systems are the starting point. Every workflow requires evidence checks, explicit authority and measurable tests. Conventional foundations are prerequisites or targeted refreshers, rather than the main curriculum.

How many live sessions and hours are included?

24 weeks × 3 sessions = 72 live sessions. At 60–90 minutes each, that is 72–108 instructor-led hours. Independent assignments are additional.

Do I need coding or cybersecurity experience?

Working knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, Windows/Linux and security fundamentals. Read basic logs, use a terminal and edit a small Python script. A readiness exercise checks these skills before entry; beginners should complete foundation preparation first. Prior machine-learning research is not required.

Are paid tools, exams or professional certifications included?

Do not assume a commercial subscription, cloud credit, vendor exam, external certification or CPE entitlement is included. Core practical work uses local/open tools and synthetic evidence where possible. Ask admissions for a written list of any batch-specific access costs and completion documentation.

Can international learners and company teams join?

Yes, through Live Online training in English, subject to a suitable confirmed cohort. Share your time zone and objectives. Companies may request a private cohort with agreed tools and sanitized scenarios.

Does the program guarantee a job or a secure AI system?

No. The assessed output is a portfolio of verified workflows and control evidence. Hiring and production security depend on experience, the environment and ongoing review; a course or scanner cannot guarantee either.
