AI for Cybersecurity

This 1-year access course offers a practical and visual introduction to how Artificial Intelligence is transforming modern cybersecurity. Participants will explore how AI systems work, from the AI stack, local models, agents, and MCP servers to their real-world applications in SOC operations, threat detection, DFIR, Red Teaming, and security automation.

Through practical demonstrations and hands-on labs, you will understand with open-source AI technologies, local models, Ollama, AI-powered security projects, and real-world security use cases. The course also explores the offensive side of AI, including AI-assisted attacks, phishing, deepfakes, prompt injection, data exfiltration, MCP attack surfaces, and the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications.

By the end of the course, you will understand how AI can strengthen security operations while also learn new vulnerabilities and attack surfaces. This course is ideal for cybersecurity professionals, SOC analysts, Red and Blue Team practitioners, developers, and anyone looking to understand the impact of AI on the future of cybersecurity.
