Hey everyone! I've been lucky to start my tech career in Security Engineering, working mainly with Microsoft, Azure, and focusing on endpoints and data protection. As AI becomes a bigger part of the tech landscape, I'm really interested in shifting my focus towards AI Security Engineering. I'd love to hear any recommendations or guidance on how I can make this transition!

That’s awesome to hear! I’m working towards becoming a Cloud Security Engineer myself. I have my Azure certifications and I'm finishing my Cybersecurity Master's in 2026. Any chance you could share some tips on how you got into security engineering? My thesis was on LLM security, so I’d love to know more about your journey!
One way to dive into AI Security is to learn the basics of AI technologies and their security vulnerabilities. Understanding how machine learning models can be attacked and what safeguards need to be in place is crucial. Also, consider taking online courses that focus specifically on AI security.
Getting directly involved in AI security projects can be really helpful. You might want to look for roles specifically in AI Security or even start contributing to open-source projects that focus on AI vulnerabilities. This practical experience will boost your skills and your resume!
Sure! I started with a degree in aerospace, but switched to an IT grad scheme where I got hands-on experience in security. Connecting with mentors in the field really helped me a lot!
