Generative AI can write, code, analyze, and automate. But every prompt you type and every output you share can carry hidden risks. This course helps you bridge the gap between AI productivity and data protection, so you can confidently use Generative AI without crossing security or compliance lines. You will discover how Generative AI systems process data from training to output and pinpoint where security vulnerabilities appear, analyze why organizations restrict access to AI tools, classify different types of data (public, internal, confidential, regulated) to decide what can safely be shared with GenAI tools, apply masking, anonymization, and safe prompting techniques, identify real world cases of prompt injection, differentiate between direct and indirect prompt injection attacks, implement defensive habits, use the STOP Method (Scan, Test, Observe, Pause) to review AI generated outputs, adopt the Validate, Escalate, Approve review framework, and develop a proactive mindset for identifying, reporting, and mitigating GenAI related security incidents.

This Course Offers

• How GenAI processes data and security vulnerabilities: Discover how Generative AI systems process data from training to output, and pinpoint where security vulnerabilities can appear. Analyze why organizations restrict access to AI tools and how enterprise level controls protect sensitive information.
• Data classification and safe prompting: Classify different types of data (public, internal, confidential, and regulated) to decide what can safely be shared with GenAI tools. Apply masking, anonymization, and safe prompting techniques to prevent accidental data exposure during AI assisted work.
• Prompt injection attacks and defensive habits: Identify real world cases of prompt injection and recognize how malicious instructions can be hidden inside everyday text or documents. Differentiate between direct and indirect prompt injection attacks and evaluate how each one compromises AI behavior. Implement defensive habits such as separating instructions from content, setting clear prompt boundaries, and auditing outputs for accuracy and risk.
• STOP Method, review framework, and incident response: Use the STOP Method (Scan, Test, Observe, Pause) to review AI generated outputs before sharing or publishing them. Adopt the Validate, Escalate, Approve review framework to ensure AI outputs meet organizational accuracy, privacy, and compliance standards. Develop a proactive mindset for identifying, reporting, and mitigating GenAI related security incidents.
