“We are truly excited by the launch of our latest certification, as this provides a complete one-stop-shop for learners, educators, and executives wanting to validate their ability to manage AI security risks at scale,” said AKYLADE Founder and Chief Product Officer Jason Dion, a cybersecurity and AI specialist and educator with more than 2.5 million students worldwide. “Built for and by professionals who operationalize the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (RMF), this certification focuses on governance, compliance, incident response, and secure AI implementation.”
The AKYLADE AI Security Practitioner (A/AISP) certification is 50 complex scenario-based questions testing real-world application of AI security principles and frameworks, and validates one’s readiness to lead AI risk management and security operations across diverse systems through practical application of the NIST AI RMF. “This advanced certification demonstrates your ability to implement comprehensive AI security strategies in both simple and complex organizational environments,” said Alyson Laderman, AKYLADE’s chief executive officer.
