Available courses

A short, standalone course in the CelebIsland Security Academy consisting of a single real practical exercise: designing an AI usage policy for a SOC team, graded with a real rubric. Built per the client's AI-Native master expansion directive (section 110, item 3). Given its own course rather than attached to GRC or Security Engineering, specifically so it does not alter either of those courses' already-verified, single-grade-item (exam-based) grade computation.
A short, standalone course in the CelebIsland Security Academy — not a full specialization track — covering the security discipline of AI itself: prompt injection (direct and indirect), data leakage through AI assistants, model and supply-chain risk, and secure integration patterns. Built per the client's AI-Native master expansion directive (section 110, item 2). Closes with a case study grounded directly in CelebIsland's own real, deployed Module 52 AI-assist feature, read from its actual source. Companion to the AI Fundamentals course, whose vocabulary (hallucination, non-determinism, human-in-the-loop) this course assumes.
A short, standalone course in the CelebIsland Security Academy — not a full specialization track — covering what AI and large language models actually are, how to use them responsibly, and their real limits: hallucination, non-determinism, and the mandatory role of human validation. Built per the client's AI-Native master expansion directive (section 110, item 1). No prerequisite; this course establishes the working vocabulary (hallucination, non-determinism, human-in-the-loop) the companion AI Security course builds directly on.
