Overview

What this track is about

Every company shipping AI now needs someone who understands how it gets attacked. You'll learn prompt injection, data leakage through retrieval, tool abuse by agents and the classic web security that still applies. Then you'll red-team a partner's AI feature and write the fixes.

Who it's for

  • Students interested in cybersecurity and ethical hacking
  • CSE/IT students who want a less crowded specialisation
  • Job seekers moving into security roles

You should know

  • Basic Python
  • Understanding of how websites and APIs work

FAQ

AI Security: common questions

Do I need prior AI experience for AI Security?

No. You need: basic python; understanding of how websites and apis work. The first phase covers the foundations, and mentors help anyone who falls behind.

Is the curriculum the same online and offline?

Yes. The syllabus and certificates are the same. Offline plans add office days with in-person reviews, team projects with partner engineers and more hands-on hours.

Which partner company will I work with?

It depends on the project brief that fits your level and interests. The company is named on your offer letter before the project phase starts.

What if I miss a live class?

Every live class is recorded. You need 80% attendance across live and office sessions to receive the certificate, and you can switch to a later cohort once for free.
