AI security is the newest domain in cybersecurity — and unlike AppSec or Cloud Security, there's no 10-year-old playbook for how to break in. Roles are forming right now: AI/LLM Red Teamer, AI Security Engineer, ML Security Engineer, AI Governance & Risk Analyst, Prompt Injection Researcher. Most students don't know these roles exist, let alone how to position for them.

What we'll cover:

  • What the emerging roles actually are, and which companies/teams are hiring for them right now
  • Why this domain rewards people who come from either security or ML/software backgrounds — and how to leverage whichever one you have
  • What to actually learn: OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, agent architecture basics, prompt injection/jailbreak techniques, and where traditional AppSec/cloud security skills transfer directly
  • Why being early to a domain (before it's crowded with "certified" candidates) is a genuine career advantage right now, and how to use that positioning in interviews
