AI has changed the security equation on three fronts at once: it arms the attacker, it arms the defender, and the AI systems you deploy are themselves a new target. This certificate gives leaders one durable way to see all three, and a board-level strategy to act on it. Eight modules, one a week, built around your own organization.
Start the courseThe spine is the AI-security triad: AI as weapon, AI as shield, and securing AI itself. We start from the new threat landscape, work through offense, defense, and the systems you deploy, then move to economics, governance, the human layer, and a capstone you can take to your board.
Why AI changes everything, and what it does not. The stable baseline, and the triad that maps your exposure.
Deepfakes, synthetic identity, generative social engineering, and the AI-augmented kill chain.
AI in detection and response, security copilots, and the automation paradox: where to trust the machine.
Prompt injection, data poisoning, model and agent risk. OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS for leaders.
Deciding under constraint: Gordon-Loeb logic, risk quantification, insurance, and the investment case.
NIST AI RMF, SEC disclosure, the EU AI Act, and board accountability for cyber-AI risk.
Security culture in a deepfake world, and incident response when an attack moves at machine speed.
Responsible AI, the road ahead, and the capstone: your board-level cyber-AI security strategy and risk brief.
All eight modules are built in the same interactive online style.
A board-level Cyber-AI Security Strategy and Risk Brief for your own organization: your exposure across the triad, where the next security dollar goes and why, your governance and disclosure posture, and how you would lead an incident at machine speed.
You build it module by module, so by the end the certificate is also a deliverable you can present.
Business Technology · Miami Herbert Business School
Researches and teaches digital transformation and AI, and leads Miami Herbert's work on building AI capability across the business. He brings the leadership lens to security in the AI era: every technical idea ladders up to a decision a leader has to make. He designs this certificate and stands behind it.
Pair this specialization with the foundation course to build real depth in AI for security and risk leadership. It also complements Miami Herbert's executive-education certificates.
