About this course

You're already coding with AI. You're already using it at work. This course is the difference between being a smart user and being the breach in next quarter's headlines. 6 modules · 35 lessons · real 2026 incidents · downloadable vendor-diligence checklist + contract clause library + 10 audit prompts you can run on your own codebase tomorrow.

What you'll learn

Spot prompt-injection attack patterns (direct + indirect) and harden against them in code

Build the two-layer rate-limit defense — Vercel Firewall + Supabase credits — that survives serverless cold starts

Run Supabase Security & Performance Advisors before every deploy (the built-in audit most devs miss)

Pick the right HIPAA route — AWS Bedrock + BAA, Anthropic Enterprise, or local (Google MedGemma, Amazon HealthLake AI)

Read SOC 2 / GDPR / WCAG 2.1 AA well enough to demand the right contract clauses

Audit licenses with `npx license-checker --failOn GPL-3.0;AGPL-3.0;SSPL-1.0` before every client delivery

Pen-test your own app WITH AI — Caido, PromptFoo, garak

01The Mexican gov breach — one attacker, Claude Code + GPT-4.1, 195M taxpayer + 220M civil records (Dec 2025–Feb 2026)Preview2m

02The $12M bank loss — procurement shadow agent + indirect prompt injection auto-approved fraud (Q1 2026)Preview2m

03600+ firewalls in 55 countries — fully autonomous AI agent, no human operator2m

04Microsoft Semantic Kernel RCE — CVE-2026-25592 + CVE-2026-26030, prompt injection → host-level code execution (May 2026)2m

05The number: 88% of AI-deploying orgs had a confirmed or suspected security incident this year. Only 6% of security budgets fund AI.2m

01Myths — 'AI is smarter so it's safer', 'we use Claude so we're fine', 'our prompt is locked down'2m

02Direct injection vs indirect injection — the distinction that gets every team2m

03Real attack patterns — web-fetch payload, document poisoning, tool-output exfil, system-prompt extraction2m

04Agent → RCE — the Semantic Kernel pattern and why it generalizes to every agent framework2m

05Defenses Layer 1 — input sanitization + output validation + content filtering2m

06Defenses Layer 2 — tool-call allowlists, model-as-judge for safety checks2m

07Claude Code rules — ALLOWED_TOOLS, deny-by-default, sandbox mode1m

01'Denial of Wallet' — what Kevin called it, what OWASP folded into 'Unbounded Consumption'2m

02The actual cost: one unguarded /api/chat endpoint = unbounded Anthropic/OpenAI bill2m

03Why in-memory rate limiters DO NOT WORK on serverless — Vercel cold starts reset the Map2m

04Two-layer defense — Vercel Firewall (IP rate limit) + Supabase credits table (per-user daily budget)2m

05Monitoring + billing alerts — daily AI-spend checks, anomaly detection1m

01Row-Level Security — locked-by-default vs the demo mode that ships open2m

02The Supabase Advisors trick — Security + Performance, run before every deploy2m

03Service-role key NEVER in client code — how to spot it, how to fix it2m

04API keys — `.env.local` not `.env`, never `git add -A`, rotate when teammates leave2m

05Auth — magic links vs passwords vs SSO. httpOnly / secure / sameSite cookies2m

06Open ports, exposed admin URLs, leaked /api/_internal — the audit checklist2m

01SOC 2 — what it is, when you actually need it, the Vanta/Drata shortcut2m

02GDPR — data subject rights, deletion, sub-processors, the fines that keep landing1m

03HIPAA — PHI, BAAs, the three legal routes (AWS Bedrock+BAA, Anthropic Enterprise, local: Google MedGemma + Amazon HealthLake AI)2m

04ADA Title II Web Accessibility — original April 24, 2026 deadline EXTENDED to April 26, 2027 (state/local ≥50K) and April 26, 2028 (smaller). WCAG 2.1 AA mandatory. HHS May 2026 deadline still live.2m

05OWASP — what it is, why the LLM Top 10 is now mandatory reading2m

06License audit — MIT vs GPL/AGPL/SSPL. `npx license-checker --failOn` before every client delivery1m

01U.S. v. Heppner (Feb 2026, Judge Rakoff SDNY) — Claude chats NOT attorney-client privileged. The training-on-inputs problem2m

02Warner v. Gilbarco (E.D. Mich., Feb 2026) — the counter-ruling. Enterprise AI under counsel direction CAN be work-product protected1m

03The local-model trade-off — privilege/HIPAA win, but no harness like Claude Code. The honest math2m

04Claude with browser + computer access — what you're actually agreeing to. The trust budget2m

05Pen-test your own app WITH AI — Caido, PromptFoo for adversarial testing, garak2m

06Wrap-up: the 10 audit prompts you can run on your codebase tomorrow2m
