This capstone of the applied AI security path closes the gap between testing an AI system and defending the decision to run it. It separates two things agencies routinely conflate: red teaming, deliberately trying to break, mislead, or misuse a system, and assurance, the documented evidence that a system is trustworthy enough for its purpose. Participants run the engagement lifecycle end to end, scoping testing to the system's risk classification, setting objectives, writing rules of engagement that separate an exercise from an incident, and managing team composition and deconfliction, then match technique to attack surface, weighing manual testing against automated approaches.
Two things make this course unique. The first is agentic AI, where the attack surface expands from what a system says to what a system does. The second is assurance itself: rather than stopping at finding problems, the course builds the assurance case as claim, argument, and evidence an oversight body can audit, alongside TEV&V records, model and system cards, and how it all feeds a risk-acceptance decision. It also teaches the hard judgment calls, and by design uses scenario-based practice instead of a lab, so acquisition and oversight staff can take it alongside the testers. It tops a four-course ladder from AI Security Fundamentals for the Cyber Workforce and AI Security & Governance for Government through Securing AI/ML Systems and AI Security Monitoring and Incident Response.
