About this course
In this course of AI in Cybersecurity, we will start with basics of the role of AI in modern cybersecuirty. We will learn into concepts such as Phishing and Social Engineering, Anolmoy detections, Security Operations Center, Insider Threats. This course is a blend of theory and hands-on, we will demonstarte how AI model reduce false postitive in network event classifications, how to prioritse security alreats using NLP, we will also simulate the firewalls and user activity logs and understand security alerts, we will also simulate simple SOC work flow and flag suspicious login attempts. Further more we will analyze phishing emails generated using AI and identify subtle cues and patterns that help in indentifying malicious intent.
This course will also introduce you to User and Entity Behavior Analytics, Explainability & trust that will help Build User Trust in AI-Driven Security Decisions. We will also learn Core Principles of Secure AI System Design, Why AI Governance is Critical in Cybersecurity, The Role of Humans in AI-Driven Cybersecurity. Finally we will introduce you to the career skills and certifications required to enahnce Cybersecurity Knowledge with AI Literacy.

- GUIDED PROJECT 1
- AI-Powered Threat Detection Dashboard
- In this project, you will develop an interactive dashboard that utilizes AI algorithms to analyze cyber threat data in real time. The dashboard aims to help cybersecurity professionals visualize potential threats, categorize them effectively, and respond in a timely manner. As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, this tool becomes vital for identifying and mitigating risks efficiently.
- GUIDED PROJECT 2
- Insider Threat Detection System
- This project is focused on developing an Insider Threat Detection System that leverages machine learning to analyze user behavior for signs of potential insider threats. The system will identify deviations from established norms by using data on user activities and flagging suspicious actions for further investigation.
