AI Security Certification: The Ultimate Guide to the Certified AI Security Professional (CAISP) course

Practical DevSecOps

Episode: Securing AI Systems - A Deep Dive into AI Security with Marudhamaran Gunashekaran

In this episode, Jeremy Daly, Cybersecurity Lead at Lumifi, sits down with Marudhamaran Gunashekaran, Principal Security Consultant and Lead Author of the Certified AI Security Professional (CAISP) course at Practical DevSecOps (a Hysn Technologies company).

What You'll Learn:

The conversation cuts through the AI security hype to address what matters. Maran identifies the biggest threat facing organizations today: rapid, uncontrolled AI adoption.

Companies are rushing to integrate AI systems without proper security oversight, connecting corporate data, healthcare information, and internal systems to AI platforms before security teams can catch up.

We discuss practical AI security threats, including prompt injection attacks, AI supply chain vulnerabilities, and the emergence of agentic AI systems.

Maran explains why traditional security skills translate to AI security but also why new knowledge is critical. He draws parallels between the cloud adoption wave of a decade ago and today's AI transformation.

The episode includes a live demonstration of the CAISP course labs, showing how students work with GPU-powered environments to understand tokenization, model interactions, and real attack scenarios. The course combines 20% video lectures with 80% hands-on practice, supported by 24/7 instructor chat and AI-assisted explanations.

Looking ahead, Maran warns about shadow AI usage in enterprises and the growing need for securing model context protocols. He predicts an AI arms race where AI systems will increasingly defend against AI-powered attacks.

His advice for security professionals?
