The AKYLADE AI Security Foundation (A/AISF) Certification Course is designed to introduce professionals to the foundational principles of AI security and governance. This course emphasizes critical areas such as AI risk management, trustworthy AI system characteristics, and how to apply the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF). Learners will gain the knowledge necessary to understand and manage the security risks of AI systems across their entire lifecycle.

Domain Discussion

The A/AISF exam content is divided into five domains, each representing a key focus area in AI security. The breakdown of the course content by percentage is as follows:

• Artificial Intelligence Concepts (23%)
  This domain lays the foundation by explaining AI fundamentals including machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, data preprocessing, AI lifecycle stages, and maturity models. Learners will also explore AI actors, tools, platforms, and real-world use cases across industries.

• AI Risk Management (17%)
  Focuses on the identification, assessment, and mitigation of AI-related risks. Topics include risk measurement, risk treatment methods, governance structures, and integration of AI risk management within organizational policies and frameworks.

• AI Risks and Trustworthiness (22%)
  Explores the characteristics of trustworthy AI systems such as fairness, transparency, accountability, and privacy. Learners will examine how to identify and respond to ethical, social, and technical risks, and understand the roles and motivations of AI threat actors.

• NIST AI RMF Core (23%)
  Covers the four core functions of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework—Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage. Learners will develop the skills to apply these functions to real-world AI risk management scenarios and align them with organizational objectives.

• NIST AI RMF Profiles (15%)
  Teaches how to develop and tailor AI RMF Profiles to specific organizational needs. Learners will explore profile components, decision-making responsibilities, profile implementation steps, and tools to support AI risk management.
