As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries, its impact on cyber security is both profound and urgent. While AI offers powerful tools for threat detection, automation, and predictive analytics, it also introduces new vulnerabilities and ethical challenges. The result? A growing need for cyber security professionals who understand not just traditional security protocols—but also the complexities of AI.
Enter the Certified AI Security Professional (CAISP) certification: a timely solution designed to equip professionals with the skills to secure AI systems and navigate the evolving threat landscape.
In this conversation with Lumify Work Cyber Security Lead Jeremy Daly, hear from the principal security consultant and lead author of the CAISP certification at Practical DevSecOps, Marudhamaran Gunasekaran.
The AI Skills Gap in Cyber Security
Despite rapid AI adoption, many organisations lack the internal expertise to secure AI-powered systems. Traditional cyber security training often overlooks AI-specific risks, such as:
Adversarial attacks on machine learning models
Data poisoning and model manipulation
AI supply chain attacks
Incident response for AI system breaches
Implementing robust AI controls
This AI security skills gap leaves organisations vulnerable—not just to technical breaches, but to reputational and regulatory risks. The Certified AI Security Professional course is a way to address this gap.
What is CAISP?
Practical DevSecOps Certified AI Security Professional (CAISP) certification delivers the industry-leading AI security certification built on real-world attack scenarios.
The hands-on labs provide practical experience in mitigating LLM vulnerabilities, preventing AI supply chain attacks, and implementing MITRE ATLAS defences.
Learn from industry veterans who’ve secured AI systems at Fortune 500 companies, mastering techniques deployable immediately.
Why the CAISP Certifications Matter in ANZ
In regions like Australia and New Zealand, digital transformation is accelerating. Governments and enterprises are investing heavily in AI—but without a parallel investment in AI security skills, innovation could outpace safety.
The Certified AI Security Professional course offers a way to future-proof the workforce, ensuring that professionals are not only AI-literate but AI-secure. It supports national goals related to digital resilience, ethical technology, and workforce readiness.
Who Should Get Certified as a CAISP?
Practical DevSecOps Certified AI Security Professional (CAISP) is perfect for Security professionals wanting to learn about AI supply chain risks, securing data pipelines, and protecting AI infrastructure will benefit. These include Cyber Security Professionals.
As AI becomes embedded in threat detection, incident response, and risk analysis, cyber security experts must evolve their skill sets. The CAISP certification will help you:
Detect and neutralise adversarial attacks targeting LLMs, including prompt injection and model theft..
Implement robust AI security controls using model signing, SBOMs, and dependency verification.
Apply MITRE ATLAS framework and STRIDE-GPT methodologies to identify AI-specific vulnerabilities.
Create effective incident response playbooks for AI system breaches and model compromise events.
The Future of Secure AI Starts Here
As AI becomes embedded in everything from healthcare to finance, securing these systems is no longer optional—it’s essential. The CAISP certification empowers professionals to lead with confidence, protect with precision, and innovate responsibly.
