AI Red Teaming and Adversarial Testing

Course Category : Risk Management

An advanced programme for systematically stress-testing AI systems, identifying vulnerabilities and safety risks, and evaluating safeguards before weaknesses escalate into operational or security exposure.
Duration: 5 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

The assurance of AI systems increasingly depends on an organisation's ability to examine their behaviour beyond normal operating conditions rather than relying solely on accuracy or technical performance. Generative and intelligent systems can be exposed to manipulated inputs, safeguard circumvention, unintended information disclosure, and outputs that conflict with established security and safety requirements.
This course addresses AI Red Teaming and adversarial testing through a structured, risk-based perspective. It covers attack-surface identification, test scenario design, findings classification, safeguard evaluation, remediation governance, and retesting to strengthen the security, resilience, and trustworthiness of AI systems..
