Why CAISP Certification Matters

Bridging the AI Skills Gap in Cyber Security

https://youtu.be/48YbxOVOapI
Sydney (AU), November 2025 - As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries, its impact on cyber security is both profound and urgent. While AI offers powerful tools for threat detection, automation, and predictive analytics, it also introduces new vulnerabilities and ethical challenges. The result? A growing need for cyber security professionals who understand not just traditional security protocols—but also the complexities of AI. In this conversation with Lumify Work Cyber Security Lead Jeremy Daly, hear from the principal security consultant and lead author of the CAISP certification at Practical DevSecOps, Marudhamaran Gunasekaran.

The AI Skills Gap in Cyber Security

Despite rapid AI adoption, many organisations lack the internal expertise to secure AI-powered systems. Traditional cyber security training often overlooks AI-specific risks, such as:

  • Adversarial attacks on machine learning models
  • Data poisoning and model manipulation
  • AI supply chain attacks
  • Incident response for AI system breaches
  • Implementing robust AI controls

This AI security skills gap leaves organisations vulnerable—not just to technical breaches, but to reputational and regulatory risks. The Certified AI Security Professional course is a way to address this gap.

What is CAISP?

Practical DevSecOps Certified AI Security Professional (CAISP) certification delivers the industry-leading AI security certification built on real-world attack scenarios and is perfect for security professionals wanting to learn about AI supply chain risks, securing data pipelines, and protecting AI infrastructure.
The hands-on labs provide practical experience in mitigating LLM vulnerabilities, preventing AI supply chain attacks, and implementing MITRE ATLAS defences.

The Future of Secure AI Starts Here

As AI becomes embedded in everything from healthcare to finance, securing these systems is no longer optional—it’s essential. The CAISP certification empowers professionals to lead with confidence, protect with precision, and innovate responsibly.
