Hands-On Workshop – Practical Cybersecurity Skills in an AI-Augmented World: Protecting the AI Trifecta (Room 339 & 340)

Based on the new CompTIA SecAI+ course, this session goes beyond theory. You will work through practical exercises that show you how to:
  • Protect AI models, data, and infrastructure
  • Use AI to enhance traditional cyber defense and incident response
  • Enable effective AI governance and risk management
You’ll get a clear sense of what the SecAI+ course covers so you can determine whether it’s a good fit for you, your team, and your mission or organizational needs. If you already hold a CompTIA Security+, CySA+, PenTest+ or SecurityX credential or the equivalent, you will find this session to be a compelling complement to your existing skills.
 
Skills you’ll develop include:
  • Deploying security controls to protect AI systems, servers, and platforms (for example, rate limiting and model guardrails)
  • Analyzing evidence of attacks against AI and suggesting compensating controls
  • Using AI to test for prompt injection and related adversarial prompt attacks
  • Analyzing security logs and telemetry using AI-assisted workflows
We look forward to working with you in this interactive session.
