AI security courses: what a good course covers and who it is for
A guide for choosing a course, not a catalogue. The risk names come from the OWASP Top 10 for LLM and Gen AI Apps, 2025 edition, as read on 10 November 2026.
AI security courses teach people to find and reduce the risks of using or building with AI systems. A good one covers the main risk categories for language-model applications, such as prompt injection, sensitive information disclosure and excessive agency, shows them in hands-on exercises, and is matched to the learner's role. Kriv AI suggests using the OWASP Top 10 for LLM and Gen AI Apps (2025 edition) as a checklist: if a course outline does not touch most of its ten risks, ask what it covers instead.
definition
What is an AI security course?
It is training on how AI systems can be attacked, misused or made to leak information, and what to do about it. The audience decides the content. Developers need to know how to build safely. Security teams need to know how to test and monitor. Everyone else who uses AI at work needs to know what not to paste, what to check and when to escalate.
checklist
What should the course content cover?
OWASP describes its GenAI Security Project as "a global, open-source initiative dedicated to identifying, mitigating, and documenting security and safety risks" (read 2026-11-10). Its 2025 Top 10 for LLM and Gen AI Apps names ten risks: LLM01 Prompt Injection, LLM02 Sensitive Information Disclosure, LLM03 Supply Chain, LLM04 Data and Model Poisoning, LLM05 Improper Output Handling, LLM06 Excessive Agency, LLM07 System Prompt Leakage, LLM08 Vector and Embedding Weaknesses, LLM09 Misinformation, and LLM10 Unbounded Consumption.
Our suggestion is to use the list to read a course outline. For a developer course, expect most of the ten to appear. For a general staff course, expect sensitive information disclosure, misinformation and when to escalate to be central.

buyer guide
How do you judge a course?
Ask five questions. Is it matched to your role? Does it include exercises, not only slides? Does it name the risk categories it covers? Does the instructor have experience of real deployments? Does the provider say plainly what it is not, for example whether it is a certification?
Be careful with courses that promise a credential as proof of security. Training builds skill and awareness. It does not prove that your systems are secure.

What Kriv AI offers
Kriv AI does not list a dedicated AI security course. Its live training page describes live, instructor-led courses for teams, including "Safe AI Use in Regulated Workplaces", which covers classifying data, accidental leaks, de-identification and when to escalate, and "AI Verification and Quality Control", which teaches checking AI output in proportion to risk. Its Claude Enterprise training includes a governance module. Kriv AI does not issue accredited certifications, and these courses are not a compliance certification.

Straight answers
Frequently asked questions about AI security courses: what a good course covers and who it is for
What should an AI security course cover?
The main risks of language-model applications. The OWASP 2025 Top 10 names ten, including prompt injection, sensitive information disclosure and excessive agency (read 2026-11-10).
Who needs an AI security course?
Developers who build with AI, security teams who test and monitor it, and staff who use it at work, each with different content.
What is the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications?
A list of ten risk categories for LLM and generative AI applications from the OWASP GenAI Security Project. The page we read is the 2025 edition (read 2026-11-10).
Does a course certificate prove our AI is secure?
No. Training builds skill and awareness. Security of a system is shown by testing and review of that system.
Does Kriv AI offer an AI security course?
Not as a dedicated course. We teach live courses such as Safe AI Use in Regulated Workplaces. We do not issue accredited certifications.
What does it cost?
