AI for Cybersecurity Professionals

Course overview

AI for Cybersecurity Professionals is a practical training course designed to equip cybersecurity and IT professionals with skills to apply Artificial Intelligence in threat detection, security monitoring, incident response, vulnerability assessment, threat intelligence, security analysis, and cyber risk management. Participants learn how AI can enhance cybersecurity operations, automate repetitive security tasks, analyse large volumes of security data, identify suspicious activities, and support faster and more informed security decisions.

Course objectives

• Understand the application of AI, Machine Learning and Generative AI in cybersecurity.
• Use AI tools to support threat intelligence, security monitoring and incident detection.
• Apply AI to analyse security logs, alerts and network activity.
• Use AI to support incident response, investigation and digital forensics
• Apply AI-assisted techniques for vulnerability and cybersecurity risk assessment.
• Identify and analyse AI-enabled cyber threats, including phishing, social engineering and automated attacks.
• Understand and mitigate prompt injection, data poisoning, excessive agency and other LLM security risks.
• Apply MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE ATLAS, OWASP and NIST frameworks to AI-enabled cybersecurity activities.
• Develop secure and responsible AI practices for cybersecurity operations.
• Validate AI-generated security outputs and maintain appropriate human oversight
• Develop practical AI-assisted cybersecurity workflows, reports and incident-response playbooks
