  3. 03Use AI and machine learning to detect anomalous behaviour
  4. 04Work through the incident response lifecycle under pressure
  5. 05Build detection logic and tune it to reduce false positives
  6. 06Assess the security of AI systems themselves, including model attacks
  7. 07Apply governance, risk and compliance practice
  8. 08Communicate security risk to a non-technical audience
  9. 09Deliver a defensible security assessment and detection build
