Course: AI Security and Risk Management
Lesson
Subtitle: Al's Security Landscape
Learning Outcomes
- Understand the broad security landscape and why data analysis matters for protection.
- Identify common cybersecurity threats and the role of awareness in defense.
- Describe a basic risk management framework and its practical steps.
- Explain how data visualization and simple statistical modeling can inform security decisions.
- Appreciate AI-specific security risks and mitigation strategies.
Conceptual Explanation
Al's Security Landscape surveys how organizations navigate cyber threats and governance in a data-driven era. It emphasizes that threats such as malware, phishing, and ransomware require proactive awareness and training. A structured risk management framework helps teams identify assets, assess risks, implement controls, and continuously monitor effectiveness. Data analysis, including simple visualizations, supports decision-making by revealing trends in incidents and guiding security investments.

Important Notes
- Threats arise from multiple sources and require ongoing vigilance.
- Visualizations help identify trends and inform security strategies.
- Statistical models can support proactive defense planning.
- AI-specific risks demand privacy-preserving and bias-aware approaches.

Lesson
Subtitle: AI Risk Awareness and AI Security in Practice
Learning Outcomes
- Identify major AI risk categories: data privacy, bias, safety, explainability, and compliance.
- Describe mitigation strategies such as anonymization, differential privacy, adversarial training, and explainability tools.
- Understand how data analysis supports AI risk awareness and governance.
Conceptual Explanation
AI risks span data privacy, bias, and adversarial threats. Mitigation requires a blend of technical controls, governance, and transparent communication. Data analysis and visualization help monitor risk signals and inform responsible AI deployment.
Important Notes
- Use anonymization techniques to protect patient or user identifiers in AI training data.
- Adversarial training improves model robustness against manipulated inputs.
- Explainability tools (LIME, SHAP) increase trust and accountability.
Activities
- Run a small R experiment to visualize bias across demographic groups.
- Experiment with simple LIME explanations on a toy model.
