InfoQ has opened enrollment for a five-week AI Security & Privacy Engineering cohort aimed at senior engineers and architects in regulated industries. The program focuses on enhancing security and privacy practices for AI systems.
Summary
InfoQ has opened enrollment for a five-week online cohort titled the AI Security & Privacy Engineering Program, aimed at senior engineers and architects who hold at least five years of experience and work with AI systems in regulated industries. Two cohorts are scheduled to begin on 26 August and 14 October, each limited to small groups that meet for four-hour weekly sessions.
The program is led by Katharine Jarmul, author of Practical Data Privacy. Sessions address the shift of AI workloads from experimental to business-critical use, where privacy and security obligations become unavoidable. Participants examine sensitive-data handling in AI pipelines, threat-modeling methods such as STRIDE and LINDDUN, and the deployment of guardrails, sandboxes, and observability tooling including Arize Phoenix.
Each week attendees map concepts from recent QCon presentations onto concrete security or privacy decisions drawn from their own projects. Working groups produce a documented risk assessment and mitigation plan for an AI product architecture; the strongest reports are published on InfoQ. The fee is set at USD 1,470, with many employers offering reimbursement and a template provided to support internal approval requests.
