SUMMARY:AI Cyber Defense: Memphis
DESCRIPTION:
 Cisco's AI Defense Workshop covers how to utilize \"Discover
 y\, Detection\, and Protection\"—to secure the AI lifecycle. Participant
 s will practice running algorithmic red teaming simulations\, scanning mod
 el files for malicious payloads\, and configuring runtime guardrails. The 
 workshop also covers securing agentic workflows using the Model Context Pr
 otocol (MCP) to prevent goal hijacking and context poisoning.
 What to ex
 pect
 You will work through the workshop as a Senior Security Engineer at
  PseudoCo\, a fictional organization deploying generative and agentic AI a
 cross its enterprise. The workshop covers four use cases and fifteen succe
 ss criteria.
 The workshop includes:
 
 AI asset discovery using Cisco 
 AI Defense
 Algorithmic red teaming to test models for prompt injection\,
  jailbreaking\, and harmful content generation
 Model file scanning for e
 mbedded threats in .pkl\, .h5\, and .onnx files
 Runtime policy confi
 guration to block PII\, PHI\, and PCI data leaks
 MCP server scanning for
  vulnerabilities and intent-based threats
 Agentic protection against too
 l poisoning\, prompt injection\, and rug pull attacks
 
 Who should atte
 nd
 
 Security engineers and architects
 AI and ML platform owners
 Ap
 plication security teams
 IT and security leaders responsible for AI gove
 rnance
 
 What you will learn
 
 How Cisco AI Defense applies the Disc
 overy\, Detection\, and Protection framework to AI systems
 How to valida
 te models before deployment and protect them at runtime
 How to detect an
 d block agentic AI threats specific to MCP-based architectures
 How to bu
 ild runtime policies that enforce data protection and content safety
