What You’ll Learn: AI for Proactive Cyber Defense
Move beyond signature-based alerts—deploy AI that sees patterns, predicts breaches, and responds at machine speed.
AI Threat Detection Models
Detect zero-day attacks and sophisticated threats using supervised and unsupervised ML.
Behavioral Anomaly Identification
Spot insider threats and compromised accounts through user/entity behavior analytics (UEBA).
Automated Incident Triage
Reduce alert fatigue with AI that prioritizes, enriches, and suggests responses.
Ethical & Explainable AI in Security
Ensure transparency, auditability, and bias mitigation in high-stakes security decisions.
