AI Security
Bootcamp
Singapore
A 7-day intensive program for security professionals shaping how we secure emerging AI systems.
Overview
This iteration of AI Security bootcamp explores the rapidly evolving threat landscape of frontier AI systems, equipping security professionals with the knowledge and hands-on skills to secure against current and emerging risks.
As AI systems become more capable and integrated into critical infrastructure, new attack surfaces and failure modes are emerging that traditional security training doesn't cover. This program is designed to fill that gap, providing an intensive, practitioner-focused curriculum that prepares participants to engage with the most pressing AI security challenges we see today, and grapple with how the risks will evolve in the future.
Participants will complete pre-work before the program to establish baseline ML fundamentals, followed by an immersive week delivered through demos, lectures, guest speakers, and hands-on red/blue exercises that build skills across the modern AI system stack.
The Program
What You'll Learn
- ■Develop a threat model for frontier AI systems: from current deployments to the security challenges posed by increasingly capable systems
- ■Build hands-on capability across the full attack surface: adversarial techniques, infrastructure exploitation, supply chain attacks, and model-level vulnerabilities
- ■Understand how attacks and defenses scale with AI capability increases
- ■Engage with security challenges that frontier AI organizations are actively working on—problems not yet covered in standard training curricula
- ■Position yourself for high-impact roles at the frontier: AI labs, government programs, and research institutions shaping how the field develops
Who Should Attend
Security professionals ready to secure frontier AI systems at all stages - from user applications, to model APIs for developers; and from infrastructure hosting the models, to governance frameworks for emerging threats.
We want our cohort to span a wide range of expertise - whether your background is offensive security, incident response, threat intelligence, infrastructure, or application security, the AI-specific threat models and techniques we cover will push what you already know into new territory.
Prerequisites
5+ years of hands-on security experience. No prior AI or ML background needed - the pre-work will cover what's necessary.
Selection prioritizes candidates interested in frontier AI risk, high-consequence failure modes, or work involving sophisticated threat actors.
Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch) is a plus but not required. We want to make this accessible to security professionals from a variety of backgrounds, so we provide comprehensive pre-work to get everyone up to speed on the AI fundamentals needed to engage with the curriculum.
Timing
AISB Singapore runs April 20–26, overlapping with Black Hat Asia (April 21–24) and just before DEF CON (April 28–30). If you're already planning to attend DEF CON, this program fits naturally into the same trip: the bootcamp ends just before DEF CON opens.
Cost & Selection
Accommodation included. Limited travel support available—note this in your application.
Selection is competitive—we accept 10 to 12 participants. The cost is your time: full attendance for seven days and pre-reading completed before arrival.
