Certifications, Experience & the New Realities of AI Security
From learning paths to securing AI‑enabled organisations
AI is reshaping cybersecurity faster than careers, certifications, and organisations can adapt. New AI‑focused credentials are emerging, classic cyber certifications are being re‑evaluated – and practitioners are left asking what truly prepares them to secure AI in practice.
This panel brings together hands‑on cybersecurity experts to share lived experience. We’ll discuss the real value and limits of certifications, how security professionals should re‑orient learning and career paths, and how these insights are applied inside organisations to manage AI‑driven risks.
