Secure Your AI: Threat Modeling

Secure Your AI: Threat Modeling is an intermediate course for architects and engineers tasked with protecting complex AI systems. This course moves beyond reactive security, teaching you to build resilience directly into your designs. You will master the critical architectural decision of secret management by performing a deep-dive comparison of self-hosted solutions like Vault and managed cloud services like AWS Secrets Manager. You will learn to create a full Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis and use compliance and performance data to make a justifiable, portfolio-ready recommendation. Next, you'll learn to proactively hunt for vulnerabilities by deconstructing system architecture into Data Flow Diagrams and applying the industry-standard STRIDE framework. This systematic process will enable you to identify and mitigate critical threats like Spoofing and Information Disclosure before they can be exploited. Through hands-on, scenario-based projects, you will draft professional security documents, defend your decisions to a simulated review board, and leave the course with the skills to design, build, and maintain secure AI systems.
