TinyML Security and Privacy Training in Dhaka, Bangladesh

The TinyML Security & Privacy Training focuses on securing machine learning models and data on ultra-constrained edge devices such as microcontrollers and embedded IoT systems.
Participants learn how to protect models, firmware, data, and device integrity, while ensuring privacy, compliance, and trust in TinyML deployments used in industrial, consumer, healthcare, and critical infrastructure environments.

This course bridges embedded security with ML-specific threats, helping teams build secure-by-design TinyML systems.
