Secure AI agents

Safe AI Agents and Human Control

Replace vague concern with concrete controls. You map assets, data, users, tools and plausible failure paths, constrain access and actions, and decide what the solution must never be allowed to do on its own.

The course has nine parts. You map what can actually be harmed, draw the data flow and the minimum necessary information, set identity, permissions and least privilege, and learn why retrieved text is data rather than a higher-priority instruction.

You constrain tools and autonomy with allowlists, limits, preview and approval, plan logging, monitoring and incident response, run security tests before the pilot, and pass a security gate with five threat cases plus a separate decision. The final test has eight questions and seven correct answers give you the certificate.
