Generative AI for Cybersecurity Professionals

This program equips cybersecurity professionals, AI security practitioners, SOC leaders, and governance specialists with the expertise required to integrate Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI into security operations responsibly and securely. You will begin by exploring AI fundamentals, comparing traditional detection approaches with AI-driven analytics, and understanding how Large Language Models enhance SOC workflows. Through guided demonstrations, you will examine real-world applications such as AI-based malware detection, automated triage, and intelligent threat analysis. Building on AI foundations, you will explore transformer architectures, evaluate LLM capabilities and limitations, and apply AI systems to cybersecurity use cases. Emphasis is placed on identifying output risks, implementing guardrails, and maintaining human oversight in AI-assisted workflows. Next, the program advances into secure prompt engineering and AI system defense. You will learn how prompt injection attacks occur, how adversarial machine learning manipulates models, and how AI pipelines can be hardened against misuse. Structured exercises demonstrate how robust model training, monitoring, and validation reduce AI-specific security risks. The course then expands into governance, ethics, and compliance frameworks. You will analyze bias, fairness, transparency, and accountability challenges in AI systems, and align AI deployment with recognized standards such as NIST and regulatory compliance frameworks. Practical examples demonstrate how to audit AI systems and establish responsible oversight mechanisms. Finally, you will integrate AI security, adversarial defense, and governance strategies in a structured practice project, designing a secure AI-enabled SOC framework aligned with enterprise risk management principles. By the end of this program, you will be able to: -Explain AI, GenAI, and LLM concepts in cybersecurity contexts. -Apply AI and LLMs to enhance SOC detection a
