AI for IT Security equips participants with practical skills to apply artificial intelligence to identify, assess, and respond to cybersecurity threats. The course explores how AI can support security monitoring, detect suspicious activities, analyze vulnerabilities, classify sensitive information, and improve incident response across organizational IT environments.

Participants will learn to use AI tools to analyze security logs, identify unusual patterns, summarize threat intelligence, evaluate potential risks, and generate recommended remediation actions. The course also covers AI-assisted data protection, access control, phishing detection, malware analysis, data loss prevention, security policy development, and compliance monitoring.

Through hands-on activities, learners will apply AI to realistic security scenarios, automate repetitive security tasks, investigate potential incidents, and produce clear security reports. Emphasis is placed on validating AI-generated findings, protecting confidential data, managing false positives, maintaining human oversight, and addressing risks such as prompt injection and adversarial attacks. By the end of the course, participants will be able to use AI responsibly to strengthen threat detection, accelerate security operations, and improve their organisation’s overall cybersecurity posture.
