Securing Agentic & Distributed AI Systems – Online Course
 
Securing Agentic & Distributed AI Systems is an advanced, hands-on course designed for AI engineers, cybersecurity professionals, and system architects seeking to understand and mitigate the security risks associated with autonomous agents and distributed AI workloads. As intelligent systems become more decentralized—spanning cloud platforms, edge devices, and LLM-powered agents—new security paradigms are required. This course provides you with the frameworks, tools, and techniques needed to secure these complex, intercommunicating AI environments.
 
What Are Agentic and Distributed AI Systems?
 
Agentic AI systems refer to autonomous agents capable of reasoning, decision-making, and interacting with environments or APIs (e.g., AutoGPT, LangGraph, ReAct-based agents). Distributed AI systems span across multiple nodes, devices, or platforms (e.g., federated learning, multi-agent systems, decentralized models) and perform collective intelligence tasks. These systems are critical in next-gen applications like autonomous vehicles, AI-enhanced IoT, distributed robotics, and collaborative LLM agents.
 
However, they introduce novel attack surfaces—like model poisoning, agent misalignment, prompt injection, lateral data exfiltration, and adversarial behavior between agents. This course equips you to understand, detect, and mitigate such risks.
 
How to Use This Course
 
  1. Start with Fundamentals: Understand distributed AI architectures, agent frameworks, and their vulnerabilities.
  2. Build and Secure Agents in Labs: Use tools like LangChain, AutoGen, and ReAct to build autonomous agents, then simulate attacks and defenses.
  3. Apply Threat Modeling: Learn to use STRIDE, MITRE ATLAS, and OWASP top threats tailored to AI.
  4. Deploy and Secure in Real Environments: Implement access control, observability, and zero-trust architectures across edge-cloud pipelines.
  5. Document Findings: Keep a security journal of common threats, attack vectors, and response patterns.
  6. Engage in Simulations: Complete projects that simulate adversarial agent interactions, rogue model behavior, and security automation.

Interview Questions Back to Top
1. What is an agentic AI system?
An agentic AI system consists of autonomous agents that can perceive, reason, and act in environments to accomplish goals without direct user input.
 
2. What are the security challenges in multi-agent AI systems?
Challenges include prompt injection, data leakage between agents, conflicting goals, malicious tool usage, and misaligned decision-making.
 
3. How does prompt injection work in LLM-based agents?
It involves inserting adversarial content into input prompts or documents to manipulate the AI’s behavior or bypass safety filters.
 
4. What is federated learning and how can it be attacked?
Federated learning trains models across decentralized devices. It can be attacked via model poisoning or update inversion.
 
5. What is MITRE ATLAS and how is it used in AI security?
MITRE ATLAS is a framework for mapping threats to AI systems, helping identify attack vectors and defensive strategies.
 
6. How can agent access to tools be securely managed?
