About AI Security University

AI Security University makes high-quality AI security education, events and resources freely accessible.

Built by the leader in application security training

Dan Barahona built APIsec University into the largest API security training platform in the world — over 150,000 students, including security teams at 75% of the Fortune 100.

When generative AI and autonomous agents became software's fastest-growing attack surface, the same gap reopened: a brand-new discipline, no accessible way to learn it. So he turned the same playbook on AI — founding AI Security University to make this new discipline as learnable as he made the last.
