Instructor explained very well. But throughout the course there was lots of interruption - technical connectivity issues. Not sure if this is an exception for me only but if many report this, it needs to be addressed

I enjoyed to understand the difficulties of injections. The process should be in place and well shared to the governance of strategy and risks.

Great course, Taimur has excellent knowledge on the topic. Would have been interested to cover ISO42001 as an alternative to AI RMF, and also GDPR compliance risks around inference locations, but it was still outstanding.
By Ashutosh Virendra Singh Verma on 8/9/2026
Relevant examples and good way of explaining the things. And with the style of him sharing industry experience, it is kind of an interactive session, where one can connect easily

The course is keeping me engaged with discussion points that I never considered such as recently discussed indirect prompt attacks. These vectors make me realize that LLMs generally are almost impossible to secure against unknown prompt methods. Language is definitely the key.

Good introduction about what Cyber Security professional need to be aware of basis of risk and opportunity related to Gen AI Adaption in current environment. Fantasic content to keep the seasoned CyberSecurity professionals to gear up for the AI Attack and how to protect the environment. This is almost same as when the Clould came and ppl started to jump on it without thinking about security. But We as security professionals needs to be geared up for all these changes and this course is helping a lot.

I left this rating because the course was informative, relevant, and well-structured. It provided a good understanding of Generative AI risks, cybersecurity challenges, and governance considerations in today’s environment. The content was aligned with current industry trends and included practical insights that can be applied in real-world security operations. Overall, it was a valuable learning experience, although adding more hands-on labs or technical demonstrations could make it even better.
