Developed in response to the rapid integration of AI across industries and public services, this course equips professionals with the essential knowledge needed to understand, engage with, and securely apply artificial intelligence. As AI systems become increasingly embedded in operational processes and decision-making, organisations face not only new opportunities but also significant security challenges. Ensuring that AI is deployed safely, ethically, and with robust protections in place is now critical to organisational resilience.
This training builds awareness of AI’s core concepts, real-world applications, and the security implications that accompany its adoption. Participants will explore how AI technologies function, the vulnerabilities they introduce, and the risks associated with misuse or manipulation. The course examines issues such as data governance, system integrity, and the emerging risks unique to AI-enabled systems, providing a clear understanding of how organisations can prepare for, defend against, and adapt to AI-related risks.
A dedicated security module covers key AI-specific threats – including overreliance on automated outputs, adversarial inputs designed to trigger errors, model inversion attacks, and data poisoning – alongside the practical mitigation strategies required to manage them.
Delivered by an Advent IM Trainer, this course offers a clear, security-focused introduction to artificial intelligence: what it is, how it works, and why secure understanding and implementation are essential in a digitally transforming world.
The course will cover the following key areas:
This awareness-level course includes interactive exercises and real-world case studies, encouraging participants to reflect on how AI affects their work, sector, and society at large.
This 1-day course is designed for professionals who need a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence and its implications for their role. It is ideal for those looking to build awareness of AI technologies, understand associated risks, and explore how AI may influence future operations. Suitable participants include:
No technical background is required – this course focuses on security awareness, ethical considerations, and real-world application rather than programming or system development.
This course introduces the foundational concepts of artificial intelligence and the common AI systems used across modern organisations. It explains how machine learning underpins many of these technologies and examines the ethical considerations surrounding their use, including bias, privacy, and accountability. A dedicated focus on AI security explores the risks, vulnerabilities, and protective measures essential for safe deployment. Real-world examples and interactive discussions help participants understand how AI can be applied in business today, while also preparing them for the evolving role of AI in the workplace and society.
The course will cover the following key areas:

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just another tool on the belt; it’s a power tool with a turbo button. Used wisely, it speeds delivery, improves quality, and frees humans for higher-value work. Used carelessly, it can leak sensitive data, entrench bias, or quietly route your organisation’s IP into somebody else’s model. That’s why AI Security Awareness Training has moved from “nice to have” to basic […]
