Course Overview
Cyber threats are increasing in scale, sophistication, and speed. Traditional security approaches—based solely on static rules and manual analysis—are no longer sufficient to detect and respond to modern cyberattacks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now a critical capability in strengthening cybersecurity posture, enabling faster threat detection, improved incident response, and enhanced security decision-making.
Advances in Machine Learning, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Generative AI are transforming cybersecurity across areas such as threat intelligence analysis, log investigation, vulnerability assessment, security reporting, and awareness training. At the same time, AI introduces new risks, including adversarial AI, hallucinated outputs, and over-reliance on automated decisions.
This course provides a practical, security-focused introduction to AI for Cybersecurity. Participants will learn AI fundamentals, explore how AI tools support cybersecurity workflows, and gain hands-on experience using GenAI tools to assist with threat analysis, incident response documentation, risk reporting, and security operations—without requiring programming skills.
