AI Risk Management Frameworks

Lessons

About This Module

Individual attacks and controls are easier to manage when they sit inside a structure. Risk management frameworks give teams a shared vocabulary and a repeatable process for deciding what could go wrong, how likely and how serious it is, and what to do about it.

Three frameworks come up again and again. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework organizes the work into four functions: Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage. MITRE ATLAS catalogs the tactics and techniques attackers use against AI systems, in the style of ATT&CK. The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications lists the most common vulnerabilities developers need to design against. They answer different questions, and they work best together.

Watch the lessons in order, then continue on to AI Regulation & Compliance, where these frameworks meet the laws and standards that organizations are required to follow.
