Overview

As AI transitions from Copilots to Autonomous Agents, the security leader’s role has fundamentally shifted. This course equips CISOs, VPs of Security, and GRC Directors to move beyond the hype and implement a robust, AI-native security strategy – governing AI agents, securing the AI supply chain, transforming the SOC, and radically improving leadership productivity.

Audience

  • CISOs
  • VPs Security
  • GRC Directors

Prerequisites

  • 8–15+ years in Cybersecurity / Risk / IT leadership roles
  • Strong understanding of security frameworks (ISO, NIST, SOC, etc.)
  • Basic awareness of AI / Generative AI concepts and risks
  • Experience in enterprise decision-making (strategy, budgets, vendor selection)
  • Familiarity with compliance and regulatory environments

Curriculum

  • Holistic Awareness (80/20 Rule): Broad-spectrum overview of AI capabilities, limitations, and new revenue streams alongside peer success stories (e.g., Honeywell vs. Texas Instruments) to ground expectations in reality.
  • The Identity-Centric Perimeter: Why ‘Machine Identity’ for AI agents is the new critical security boundary.
  • Adversarial AI Evolution: Real-time deepfake impersonation in BEC and automated zero-day discovery.
  • Making Security Core, Not an Afterthought: Transitioning from reactive security to proactive guardrails and privacy-by-design for internal AI projects.
  • AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM): Mapping data flows and detecting Shadow AI (unauthorized employee use).
  • High-Level Model Risks & Mitigation: OWASP Top 10 for LLMs including Prompt Injection and Training Data Poisoning.
  • Insecure Output Handling: Preventing AI-generated code from introducing vulnerabilities.
  • Productivity & Efficiency: Using GenAI to automate board deck generation, rapidly draft policies, and summarize complex threat intel.
  • Enhancing Leadership Effectiveness: Using AI as a strategic sounding board to improve executive decision-making quality.
  • Strategic Communication: Translating technical AI vulnerabilities into business impact and liability metrics for the Board of Directors.
  • The Paradigm Shift: How agentic AI transforms security from a reactive cost center into a proactive business enabler.
  • Designing Autonomous Workflows: Moving from ‘Human-in-the-loop’ to ‘Human-on-the-loop’ for automated threat hunting and containment.
  • Data Strategy for the SOC: Engineering ‘Security-Ready Data’ to reduce hallucinations in autonomous investigators.
  • Compliance & Regulations: EU AI Act risk categorization and NIST AI RMF (Map, Measure, Manage functions).
  • Economics & Scale – Build vs. Buy: Evaluating financial and operational trade-offs of custom in-house AI models vs. commercial off-the-shelf vendor solutions.
  • Collaborative Governance: Building the AI Council between Security, Legal, IT, and Product teams.
