AI Security University makes high-quality AI security education, events and resources freely accessible.
Dan Barahona built APIsec University into the largest API security training platform in the world — over 150,000 students, including security teams at 80% 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.
Dan has spent 25 years in cybersecurity, including senior leadership roles at Qualys, Anomali, and ArcSight. A frequent speaker at developer and security events, he's known for making hard security ideas accessible to the people shipping code.
He built APIsec University into the world's largest API security training platform, then founded AI Security University to do the same for AI security.
