Certified AI-Enabled Software Safety Specialist (CAISSS) Certification Program by Tonex
This program equips professionals to engineer, evaluate, and govern safety in AI-enabled software systems across regulated and high-stakes domains. Participants learn to align AI lifecycle practices with safety cases, standards, and risk controls while maintaining system performance and auditability. The course emphasizes model risk management, assurance evidence, and explainability techniques that translate into verifiable safety requirements.
Cybersecurity is treated as a co-equal pillar of safety, covering threat-informed architectures, secure model supply chains, and adversarial robustness. You will learn to design controls that mitigate poisoning, evasion, and model extraction while preserving privacy and compliance. By graduation, you can integrate safety, reliability, and cybersecurity into a unified, testable acceptance strategy for AI-enabled software.
