Ever find yourself with less security budget but twice the attack surface to protect?

You're not alone. According to IANS Research, cybersecurity budget growth has crashed from 17% in 2022 to just 4% in 2025. Meanwhile, threats aren't slowing down—they're accelerating.

If you're in security leadership, you know the impossible math: do more with less. Protect more systems. Cover more attack vectors. All while your budget barely moves.

Here's the problem most organizations are facing right now:

You can architect brilliant security programs with CISSP knowledge—comprehensive controls across 8 domains that maximize every dollar. Strong access controls. Solid security architecture. Effective risk management.

But there's an attack surface growing faster than any other, and traditional security frameworks don't cover it: AI systems.

Your employees are already using AI tools. They're copying code into ChatGPT. Uploading customer data to Claude. Using Copilot with access to your repositories. And your CISSP knowledge—as solid as it is—doesn't tell you how to secure prompt injection attacks, model poisoning, or data leakage through LLMs.

Think about that gap for a second.

You know how to control access to buildings, networks, and data stores. But if your organization's sensitive data is being processed by AI models you don't control, those traditional access controls don't help.

That's the gap AAISM fills. It requires CISSP or CISM as a prerequisite because you need that security architecture foundation first. Then it teaches you to apply those same principles to AI-specific challenges: model access control, AI governance frameworks, and managing AI risks throughout the development lifecycle.

AAISM is the only certification that does this—it's not meant for researchers and developers. It's built for security professionals who need to secure AI in production.

With budgets stalling and AI adoption exploding, you need both. Traditional security architecture and AI-specific security knowledge.

Our CISSP bootcamp starts November 17.
