Introduction

Artificial Intelligence has become a critical capability in modern fraud detection, enabling organisations to identify suspicious behaviour at scale and with greater accuracy. However, AI-driven fraud detection systems introduce new cybersecurity risks that can undermine their effectiveness if not properly secured. Data manipulation, adversarial attacks, model tampering, and infrastructure weaknesses can compromise fraud outcomes and erode organisational trust.

This Cybersecurity Fundamentals for AI-Driven Fraud Detection training course addresses the security foundations required to protect AI-enabled fraud detection environments. It focuses on how cybersecurity principles must be embedded across data pipelines, model operations, and supporting infrastructure to ensure reliable and defensible fraud outcomes. Participants gain a practical understanding of how cybersecurity failures can distort AI decisions and expose organisations to regulatory, financial, and reputational risk.

Key focus areas include:

FAQs

AI-driven fraud detection systems rely on large volumes of sensitive data and automated decision-making. Without strong cybersecurity controls, these systems can be manipulated, compromised, or disrupted, leading to false outcomes and increased fraud exposure.  

Common threats include data poisoning, adversarial attacks on models, unauthorised access to datasets, infrastructure misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities in third-party or open-source components used within AI environments.  

No prior programming or AI development experience is required. The training course is designed to explain cybersecurity and AI risks conceptually, making it accessible to both technical and non-technical professionals.  

The course explains how cybersecurity governance, risk assessments, and compliance frameworks can be applied to AI-driven fraud detection systems, supporting regulatory alignment and defensible operational practices.  

Organisations using AI for fraud detection benefit by improving system resilience, reducing cyber risk, strengthening digital trust, and improving collaboration between fraud, cybersecurity, and risk functions.
