Can I take the AI Security Professional course without a machine learning background?

You need a working knowledge of networks, operating systems and cybersecurity basics. Day one reviews machine learning fundamentals, but the course assumes some prior hands-on modelling experience.

You do not need a machine learning background to follow the course, but you do need a working knowledge of networks, operating systems and cybersecurity basics, or equivalent experience running IT systems. Day one reviews machine learning and deep learning fundamentals, so you can see where risk enters during design and training.

Basic Python skills make the prompt injection and analysis labs easier to follow. The course assumes some prior hands-on modelling experience, because the modules on LLM attacks and model supply chain risk move quickly. If you have not built or tested a model before, plan extra time before day two.
