Course Overview

In today’s digital threat landscape, phishing remains one of the most persistent and dangerous forms of cyberattacks. This course is designed to equip you with a deep understanding of how phishing tactics have evolved and how emerging technologies like Machine Learning (ML) and Generative AI (Gen AI) are reshaping the way these threats are identified and mitigated. Whether you're a cybersecurity professional, a data enthusiast, or someone keen on leveraging AI for defense, this course will guide you step-by-step in using AI to tackle phishing head-on. 

This course begins with a foundational look at phishing attacks and their evolution, helping you recognize how these threats have become more deceptive over time. You’ll then dive into the applications of ML and Gen AI in phishing detection, learning how to build and train ML models tailored for this purpose. You’ll explore how to simulate phishing emails and detect them using large language models (LLMs), build a GPT-powered phishing detection app, and identify phishing content with custom models. The course also covers AI-based URL and fake website detection, showcases a chatbot-driven phishing detection case study, and wraps up with real-world examples, best practices, and insights into future trends in AI-powered phishing threats. 

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build and apply AI-driven tools to detect, simulate, and defend against phishing attacks effectively.
