Snyk's free AI Security Engineer course: system prompts don't replace access control
AI Engineer · youtube · 2026-10-11
A six-module AI Security Engineer foundations course by Snyk's Micah Silverman opens with a CTF: a student chatbot's refusal to reveal grades exposes that it can access them — the lesson being that system prompts aren't access control. Covers OWASP LLM risks, direct/indirect prompt injection, MCP security (malicious tool descriptions, a Figma server command injection), AI BOMs and CI gates, STRIDE threat modeling for agentic flows, and a secure development playbook, with a hands-on EVO demo and open-source vulnerable practice app.
