Key outcomes

Key outcomes

  • Design and evaluate an AI security programme covering incident response, supply chain, secure architecture, and red teaming.

Why this course

Secure the AI systems your organisation is building

AI systems can be manipulated through their inputs, corrupted through their training data, compromised through their supply chains, and exploited through the tools and permissions they are given, often without leaving a trace in standard security logs. Securing them calls for a different set of competencies from the ones that protect conventional IT, and this course builds them.

  • Analyse threats to AI and LLM systems using MITRE ATLAS and the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications.
  • Apply security controls, monitoring, and threat intelligence built for AI systems.
  • Respond to AI security incidents and design a secure AI architecture.

What the PECB Certified AI Security Professional Covers

The PECB Certified Artificial Intelligence Security Professional credential is built for people who have to secure AI systems rather than build them. It starts with the fundamentals of machine learning, deep learning, and large language models, then moves into how those systems are attacked: the tactics and techniques catalogued in MITRE ATLAS, and the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications.

From there it covers the defensive side: AI system security controls and operations, AI-driven security monitoring and threat hunting, AI-enhanced threat intelligence, AI-assisted security analysis and reverse engineering, AI-driven incident response, training and trusting AI models, AI security governance and incident readiness, and secure AI architecture.

The course is delivered as self-study: you work through the official PECB materials at your own pace and sit the exam by remote proctoring or on paper. For governing AI across an organisation, see the ISO 42001 Lead Implementer course. For AI risk specifically, see the Lead AI Risk Manager course.

Course FAQs

Answers to the most common questions about our PECB self-study courses.

Is the Certified AI Security Professional course self-study or live?

It is self-study. You receive the official PECB course materials and an exam voucher, and you study at your own pace. There are no scheduled classes, no live sessions, and no video lessons. The course and the exam are in English.

What is the exam format?

The exam runs for 3 hours, in English, and is sat online by remote proctoring or on paper. It covers five competency domains. PECB has not yet published the question count or the pass mark for this exam, so we do not state them. One free retake is included within 12 months if you do not pass the first time.

Do I need a security background?

Yes, this one assumes a working grounding. PECB expects a solid foundation in core cybersecurity concepts, including threat modelling, access control, incident response, and security monitoring, plus a basic understanding of how machine learning systems work. If you are coming from the governance side rather than the technical side, the Certified AI Manager (CAIM) course is the better starting point.

How is this different from the Certified AI Professional (CAIP)?

CAIP is about building and deploying AI systems. This course is about attacking and defending them: adversarial threats, prompt injection, AI red teaming, monitoring, incident response, and secure architecture. They complement each other, and you can take both at a 5% discount in one checkout.

How do I access the course materials?

You will receive myPECB access instructions after purchase. Log in to download the full course manual and all study materials, and to schedule your remote-proctored exam.

Are exam attempts included?

Yes. Two remote-proctored exam attempts are included with your enrolment. If you do not pass on the first attempt, you can retake the exam within 12 months at no extra cost.

Is the training self-paced?

Yes. Self-study courses give you 24/7 access to the full course manual and materials via myPECB. Read at your own pace, around your schedule. There are no video sessions or fixed lesson timings.

Do I receive a certificate?

After passing the exam, PECB issues your professional credential provided you meet the certification requirements.
