Foundations of AI & Cybersecurity - Lesson 20: Building Secure AI - Requirements Phase - Using Guardrail Assurance, Testing, and Validation This lesson explains why AI guardrails must be treated as formal requirements from the very beginning, not added later as optional protections. It focuses on three pillars: guardrail assurance to define what the system must prevent, guardrail testing to prove those protections hold under attack, and guardrail validation to confirm the AI can be trusted in its real-world context. The core message is that secure AI depends on designing, testing, and validating safety controls before deployment.#AI#Cybersecurity#AIProjectManagement#AIGovernance#AISecurity

Foundations of AI & Cybersecurity - Lesson 19: Building Secure AI - Requirements Phase - Implementing Model-Level Security and Control DesignThis module explains why AI security must begin in the requirements phase, before a model ever goes live. It focuses on two foundational protections: model evaluation to stress-test for risks like prompt injection, hallucination, and data leakage, and model guardrails to control inputs, outputs, and tool use.

It covers the main post-launch threats, including API misuse, inference attacks, and data leakage, along with the need for secure deployment controls and continuous monitoring. Once an AI system is live, security becomes an operational responsibility, not a one-time setup.#AI#Cybersecurity#AIProjectManagement#AIGovernance#AISecurity

Foundations of AI & Cybersecurity - Lesson 13: Secure Model Engineering and Risk ControlsThis chapter explains why AI security must be engineered into the model from the beginning, not added after deployment.
