Course - Introduction to AI Trust, Risk, and Security Management (AI TRiSM)
I really enjoyed learning about AI attacks and the tools out there to begin practicing and actively using for security testing. I took a lot of knowledge away which I didn't have at the beginning and the course met what I hoped it would be. My favorite part shown from the training was Comet Browser and was amazed at what it could do. Definitely something will be looking into more. Overall it was a great course and enjoyed learning all OWASP GenAI Top 10.
