ISACA is seeking volunteers to give pre-launch feedback on a new ISACA online course: AI Threat Landscape: Attacks, Risk, and Security Measures.

Description of Course: 

Description: 

Artificial intelligence offers great promise, but its unique architecture and dependence on data make it susceptible to ever-changing threats. This course explores the threat landscape targeting artificial intelligence systems; the vulnerabilities that enable these threats; and the critical security strategies designed to protect AI's integrity, reliability, and responsible use. This course has a seat time of approximately 3 hours and is accessed via the Learning Access tab of your MyISACA dashboard.

    • Identify common types of vulnerabilities and associated causes.

    • Identify data-related vulnerabilities.

    • Identify user-related vulnerabilities.
