SANS AI Security Training August 2026

Why it matters
August 31, 2026 - September 5, 2026
Scheduled event

SANS AI Security Training is a six-day virtual program with six lab-intensive courses spanning GenAI and LLM application security, offensive AI, AI security automation, ML for cybersecurity, digital forensics with local models, and governance for AI and cloud leaders.

My takeaway: The strongest value is the structured, hands-on path from attacker methods to defensive engineering and governance. Compare course claims with public artifacts and current frameworks, and treat certification alignment as professional training evidence rather than independent validation of a control's effectiveness.

Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities

OpenAI says preliminary evidence that Astra may meet its Critical cybersecurity threshold led it to pause frontier reinforcement-learning work for two weeks and keep its largest planned run on hold. New safeguards include stronger workload and network isolation, continuous boundary testing, token-level monitoring that escalates suspicious tool activity, and broader alignment checks for deception, reward hacking, and unauthorized access.

OpenAI’s Frontier Governance Framework

OpenAI's 22-page Frontier Governance Framework maps its frontier-model processes to California's Transparency in Frontier AI Act and the EU AI Act's general-purpose AI code. It documents lifecycle risk assessment, cyber-offense and other risk tiers, mitigation and residual-risk decisions, critical-incident handling, security risk management, model reporting, external review, responsibility allocation, and change control.

Cybersecurity in the Intelligence Age

OpenAI proposes a five-pillar strategy for AI-enabled cyber defense: tiered access for trusted defenders, faster government-industry coordination, stronger protection of frontier models and infrastructure, risk-scaled deployment monitoring, and broader defensive support for individuals and small organizations.
