Secure Mobile AI Models Against Attacks

AI models are no longer locked in the cloud—they live in your pocket, powering mobile apps for fitness, finance, healthcare, and beyond. But with this power comes new risk: adversarial attacks, model theft, privacy leaks, and silent failures that undermine user trust. Securing Mobile AI Models against Attacks (SMAI) is a hands-on course for mobile app developers, AI engineers, and cybersecurity professionals who want to safeguard AI models on Android and iOS. Through interactive coach dialogues, video lessons, and practical labs, you’ll learn how to embed security from day one, analyze threats like reverse engineering and adversarial inputs, and implement layered defenses using encryption, obfuscation, and OpenTelemetry monitoring. By the end, you will have the skills to design, secure, and continuously monitor mobile AI applications, ensuring resilience, compliance, and user confidence in real-world deployments. Participants should have a basic understanding of AI, machine learning, and mobile development, along with knowledge of security concepts like encryption and data protection. Familiarity with AI model deployment and monitoring tools like OpenTelemetry is also helpful.
